This weekend, in search of a nice day off from my university work, I decided to have a go at a bit of DIY.

Now, I'm no woodworking genius or anything (hated CDT at school) but this seemed like a project worth having a bash at. So, a trip to the DIY shop and three or four hours later, and I have this little bike shelter round the back. Nice.

And here's how I made it...
