The Tale of the Shed

We decided we needed a shed to house our extra junk and also because I love little out buildings that can be decorated and played in. So last winter the mister drew up a plan and last spring he got to work.

When people came to visit, sometimes the mister would take them out and let them work on the shed. Especially if they stayed for a week or more;).

We decided to install a french door on the side to let in some light and also because they're cute.

But the wall is shorter than a normal wall so the mister found a door at a salvage yard for $5.00 and a door for free at a window store, took the two apart and made one little door that's the perfect size for our shed.
Here he is installing the door. I don't think he cussed even once. Good job, honey!

We had many discussions about what color to paint the shed. We polled our neighbors, family, and friends. Almost everyone thought we should paint our shed red. We painted it yellow. It matches our house. Plus I have lots of red accessories that you wouldn't be able to see on a red shed.

It's not done. But it'll get through the winter.

It still needs a cupola. This weathervane will sit on top of the cupola.

And we'll install this old window. It goes up over the double doors on the front. I'm looking for another window for the back of the shed for ventilation. We may insulate it a little and put up something for interior walls. Not sure what yet. I'd like to paint the cement floor, maybe checkerboard. Lots of ideas.




It's gonna be so fun to play in next spring.
