| Days 1-3: Shed kit arrival & framing. | |
 |
Here is the concrete pad where our old, metal shed used to be. Dan helped me disassemble it and get the concrete pad cleaned and ready for the new shed! I'm not sure what I'll do with the concrete ramp that leads onto the pad. I may just leave it there...maybe add some flowers around it or something. |
 |
After a day of drama related to the delivery of the shed, it finally arrived on a 53' semi around 8:00 PM. Luckily, Dan and our friend Adam were available to help unload the kit, along with the driver. An hour later, everything was off the truck and in one side of the garage. This is what it looked like. Of course, Watson had to supervise. |
 |
Okay, so I can't stand complete disorganization. My garage looked like the previous picture for about an hour, and then I promptly went to work checking the inventory and organizing the pieces of the kit into their logical groupings by floor, walls, roof, trim and etc. 2.5 hours later, my garage looked like this. Ahhhh..... :) |
| Day 2 | |
 |
A couple of days after the shed's delivery, my brother, his fiance and my mom came over to help start assembling the floor. I didn't think to take a shot of us hammering the floor's frame together, but I did snap this picture of my mom, checking out the floor, with one of the plywood pieces on it. You can see the floor is already on the concrete pad and what the frame looks like. Also, look how dark it is! It's getting dark so early now! |
 |
I took this picture, mainly to poke fun at my brother. I wanted an "action" shot of him hammering, so he posed, with a pencil behind the ear. What's funny is that there's actually no nail he's hammering, and look at how he's holding that hammer! :) Speaking of the hammer, that's our "axe-hammer". You gotta be careful when using that thing. You could hammer in a nail and take an axe to the shoulder all at once! |
 |
Here you can see my brother and his fiance, Lauren, nailing down the plywood. We got a lot done in a short amount of time, considering we're not carpenters! Oh...and yes...I actually did a lot of work. I'm also the picture taker, so you may not see a lot of pictures of me. :) |
| Day 3 | |
 |
On this day, my entire family came over to help! It was great! We focused on getting the walls framed. Here, we're framing the back wall of the shed. |
 |
A shot of the back wall completely framed. We're almost ready for siding! |
 |
Here's a flattering shot of my dad while framing one of the side walls. And there's Watson, relaxing in his bed and keeping an eye on everything. :) |
 |
Yet, another picture of a framed wall. At this point, I believe we were finished with all of the walls. |
 |
Siding time! Once the walls were framed, we started working to add cedar siding to the outside of the back wall. This is a nice perspective shot of me, my dad and my brother. :) |
 |
We finished the back wall! Adding the siding was relatively simple, and it looks beautiful! I can't wait to see it stained! |
