Can you not push the trim further on, and stick in in place? Or is it catching on something behind?

Cut it in half first, then it will only be 2 lifts at 50kg, you and the driver should manage that fine Follow me for more money saving tips

I had one of the yellow plastic stanley squares, but it doesn't work with the Hikoki circular saw as it sticks up from the timber too high and hits the saw body. One of the cheap alloy squares works fine https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224073699137

Don't cut it, use it as a flagpole

Get a big sack of working dog food, vat free. Legally you have to take the dog to work with you afterwards

If you weren't having to open it regularly, a 3x2 paving slab would be fine

Rollers are better than skids. The bigger the diameter the better, on grass. So if you had access to nice round logs, 8" - 10" diameter, they would be good. If all you had was scaffold poles, they might work along a track of scaffold boards. If you had access to a hand winch that would be better...

Are we looking at your driveway, or a road on a housing scheme etc? Park the car further from the kerb and walk on the block paving? Park the car facing the other direction, so drivers door isn't over the grass? Put down a row of paving slabs, with no gravel?

This was one I built from scratch, more of a swing set, but with a climbing/tree house bit in the middle. It now has 2 slides off the back, one of which is a culvert pipe about 6m long! The round poles are sold by a fencing supplier as (horse) jump poles. Some second hand parts, the total cost...

This was one I put together for someone, it's on hard ground. It was either 3 or 4 loads of bark, each one 4m3, so 12-16m3, could've probably done with more! I was getting the bark direct from the yard that processes it, would hate to be paying retail

The ground anchors will be to stop it disappearing in a storm! It will be fine on good ground Put the bark down after it's built

How high and wide is the tower, have you got a link? Do they specify the foundation, is it concrete? I would say don't overthink it

Is the old battery nicad, nimh, or li-on? Could you put new cells in the old case? Or modify another battery to fit? Or buy an adaptor?

Good luck getting posts in at numbers 4 and 5! It will be roots all the way. If the roots are cut the tree will be damaged. Is it a railway at the back? They have a nice secure fence, think I would live with that rather than build one in front. You'll lose a small amount of ground, and also...

Put all the wood up for free/£10 the lot on gumtree etc

Bleach doesn't kill mould on porous surfaces

Maybe try a ptfe spray (like gt85) or a silicone spray

Do you know the dimensions of the shed? This one here is 177x230cm, so slightly smaller than the slabbed area? https://www.keter.com/en-gb/sheds/manor-shed-6x8ft-grey-230256.html

Just put down a fairly thin layer of gravel, the thicker it is, the harder to walk on/drag a bin across. I wouldn't put a membrane between the stone, you don't need it, you want the gravel to bed in to the sub base a touch.

No manhole is complete without a few bits of sweetcorn floating around I once lost a set of rods in a pipe, got someone else to help with his lockfast rods. Don't know what he did, but he lost his rods too! Had to dig the pipe up, there was a buried U bend which was blocked, so we took that...
