I heard someone call my name. Sorry I could not come and help sooner, but the life of an Agony Aunt is a hectic one.
First, I think that it would be helpful if we all take a few steps back from our keyboards, take a couple of deep breaths, relax, and think about what’s causing the frustration. It is only once we identify the problem that we can arrive at a solution. It is always necessary to see the wood through the trees.
Secondly, this is an archetypal case to which the Judgment of Solomon can be applied. That said, I do think that we can arrive at a better solution than cutting the gazebo in half.
Kaos, you claim you need shelter from the elements so that you can work on your bike. I therefore think that you should be the custodian of the canvas part of the gazebo and AndyP should be the custodian of the frame. I assume that everyone will be happy with my proposed solution.
