The Shed


Our big task in Sheboygan was to replace the outdoor storage shed for Mom. Mom purchased a 10x10 metal shed the weekend before and it was delivered to the store on Thursday. But, before the new one could be put up, the old one had to be taken down. Mom & I emptied out all the "necessary" items being stored in the shed and then Tony demolished it with the help of Mom's neighbor, Skippy. Skippy is an old friend of the family and he's someone you wanna keep as a friend and not make an enemy. Great guy, but...

Well, these project aren't just demolish and rebuild. There was alot of cleanup necessary around the foundation. The concrete slab was in good shape but after 35 years, the ground and tree debris covered a corner of the cement slab at least 3 inches deep. Lots of shoveling and chopping later Tony & I got everything cleared and even dug a trench around the cement for drainage. That kinda work made me appreciate my previous desk jobs!

By Saturday the area was ready for the new shed and it took Tony
& myself from 10am to 6pm to get it assembled. We took a couple of days off to visit Gail and John in Milwaukee and then on Tuesday, we were back in Sheboygan where
Tony finished up the shed detail. Sue also drove to Sheboygan, and we spend Tuesday in the house doing some deep cleaning for Mom. Hey, aren't we suppose to be on vacation?



The finished product!
