We then took a look at the wood store which is also made from pallets.  That too must have wood protection in order for it to last.  Mr U also said he would reinforce a part which had come away. Isn’t he great.  Also fitted the new towel rail, put up the picture hooks, which prompted me to get our Art of a good marri
