The Shed is UP!

Our new house has a side yard that is not landscaped and is perfect for either a boat or a shed. Given my new-found aversion to moving vessels, we opted to use the space for a shed. We chose a resin shed because they're durable, low maintenance and easy to assemble...or so the directions in German, French, and Korean lead us to believe.
Day one of Shed Assembly:
Chad designed a foundation built of cement blocks, small stone, and paver's sand. So we piled them into our cars and drove back home. We borrowed our nice neighbor's wheelbarrow and got to work. It took about 3 hours but the foundation was set and the floor placed!
Day 2:
Navigating through the directions wasn't easy, but as the sun went down that day, the walls of the shed made their way up.

Day 3: Continued to work on walls...
Day 4: We each went to work early to get the most sunlight in the evening and finished our project!
I feel good and the work gloves I bought were put to good use. My husband will surely customize the inside to make it his own and we'll put down river rock around the sides and vine plants in the back.

  1. Great looking shed! That was quite a project, but won't you be glad for a long, long time that you did it.
