the shed

Matt spent many nights the months of September and October reffing high school soccer games in the area.  We cashed each check and saved it up until it could be turned into wood and nails!  The project of the shed began the last week of October. It started with Matt's dad coming to town with the truck making it possible to get all the stuff from Menard's to our home.  The first day they got the floor built.  Day 2 brought lots of rain.  Did I mention that for the last 3 weeks we have had only two or three 24 hour periods that it HASN'T rained.  I never was ready to build an ark because there is so much sand here is just disappears, but there is still LOTS of rain!

Anyway, since it was raining, Matt and his dad worked in the basement framing in the bedroom down there.

Wednesday dawned a bit sunnier and warmer.  My parents showed up to help also, so the three men spent the day building and got quite far.  The week got colder but they kept working.

By Saturday evening, it was a full shed with a roof, but the shingles didn't quite get finished - they ran out of nails.  Monday morning they finished up the shingles and the shelves inside and then my parents left, also.  Now it just needs some siding, but we've already got stuff inside and the garage looks beautiful without all the stuff in it! Nice job guys!

completed - but not finished
