Now that Fall is well and truly here ... I'll tell you about our Summer

Part 7 of 10

Shed Building

what it looks like at the moment

The story behind the shed:

Our long term plan is to turn our garage into a "room" complete with a 'regular' door and windows and a floor (other than concrete). This plan requires many phases to move all our 'stuff' out of storage in the garage and into storage in other places.

The first phase was to convert our attic into storage space with floor and shelves and lighting to move some of our stuff up there to store . That was accomplished (mostly) in 2007.

The second phase is an outdoor shed to house our bikes and other 'bigger' things that we needed out of the garage. This project started in March of 2008 with a little slab of cement poured as the foundation for a little shed. Since that beginning it has turned into a larger, two story structure that has had to be custom built at every point due to the slope of our land. At the moment we are in the final stages of the exterior. Tim has been hard at work with our fantastic neighbour on everything, the current step is to get the siding put up . It is almost complete and will be ready to paint soon - we are hoping to get it all painted before the rains set in for the winter ... here's hoping.

After the siding there's still lots of 'detail' work to be done around the roof frame and things on the inside ... but ... we have a structure that stores our bigger things and keeps them dry during the winter and 'safe' all year round.
