The Shed

Here is a picture of our future shed, the wood that would build it. Some friends from church who do construction for a living agreed to build us a shed and replace our back stairs that have weathered too much in the 9 years we've owned our home. We are so excited about our shed and can't wait to use it. I'm pretty sure Evan thinks it's his play house and in some ways I'm sure it will be their play house. Here is the progression. Ricky and family did a great job

Before

"helpers"

the end of day one.

Evan inspects their work

view to the house.

We chose this spot cause it doesn't grow grass and is just a leaf collection site.

Evan and I decided to try out the wood to make sure it was strong enough. When my parents built their home, we often used the excess wood for teeter tautering :). Brings back memories, if only my family was there to give me a good teeter. Evan loved it.

It hailed one day in the midst of building.

The hail was bigger than quarters, smaller than golf balls on average.

Progress...

So close...

almost done.

All this building supervision, makes the kids hungry for their favorite treat. Yogurt tubes frozen. Mmmm.

Best seat in the house to watch daddy mow the lawn.

I couldn't resist to add this cutie of my cutie. She's wearing Evan's first pair of shoes from the Smith's. Basically, she's fly. :)

Where's the stairs mommy?

There they are baby. ;)

Cora did a lot of supervising today.

Here's the new back yard stairs! Whoo hoo!

... and the completed (for the most part), shed. :) Make's me wish it had plumming and electricity so we could have a guest house! ;)

We feel really grateful for our shed, now we can store some of our things the kids have pushed out of the house or produced (clothes etc).
