Shed Blueprint!

We've lived in this house going on 6yrs and for 6yrs I've been dreaming about getting or building a yard shed. As you can see we have one now, thank you God. But it didn't just appear there one day. This summer I decided it was time, so I researched building versus prebuilt units. Let's just say I wasn't pleased with the prebuilt the home improvement stores had to offer and for the cost, I figured I can do a hack of a better job! Thanks to a good friend who got me three-quarters of the wood needed. With lots of help from friends like Garth, Phillip, Jason and Williams, I was able to complete the shed in 3 weeks. But we won't discuss the budget piece, except to say, I'm a very satisfied with the end results.

I’ve learned a lot about building a Shed (or house), things such squaring and measuring to a “T”. Most importantly I got over my fear of roofs. I was always afraid to get on top of roof until I had to put up the shingles on this shed.  Like everything else, I realized it isn’t that bad as long as someone is there to call the ambulance in case you fall off the roof!

Thank you God, another project completed!
