I fear the concrete bench may be a little harsh, requiring, perhaps, more news paper than one could reasonably expect to be carrying. The addition of a little valance over the opening would improve things a lot and reduce the floor area rendered unusable through driving rain. Things could be improved, compromises made - but it would all be so much simpler, comfortable, flexible and better insulated against the elements in wood.Diplomatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941539934835529453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133802230513064516.post-73705116570361776752009-08-27T08:35:03.973+02:002009-08-27T08:35:03.973+02:00You can just hear them way back (perhaps even befo...You can just hear them way back (perhaps even before Laura's salad days) saying, 'Let's give them concrete, for it is the material of the future.'

I hope Laura is better preserved.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133802230513064516.post-67949857407548964112009-08-27T00:40:07.725+02:002009-08-27T00:40:07.725+02:00Oddly enough, stripped of the graffito and given a...Oddly enough, stripped of the graffito and given a coat of cream paint and a blue roof, this wouldn't actually be that bad a shelter.
