Selfishly hoping the council will get around to assigning me a new storeshed so I can move some bikes into it. Then I can dismantle the existing shed and the decking.
Did a quick survey of the decking. 36 rows of planks with 11 sets of screws (two per plank) over the course of it. I make that close to 800 decking screws to be removed if I don't want to (eventually) chuck any metal into the wood bin at the tip. I have a square head driver that will go into my rechargeable drill although the battery is old and doesn't last long between charges but should be able to borrow a corded drill from my neighbour.
800 screws at 5 seconds each (giving a bit of time to clean out the heads that have soil in them) = just over an hour of screw removing entertainment
It should pile up quite neatly once it's all dismantled and take up a lot less room than it does currently.
