Lucky Break...

Many months ago my dad hooked us up with a garden shed kit for our yard (storage is always an issue for us). We knew building that shed would be on our summer "to-do" list and I couldn't have been more excited about it.

However, something even better happened. John received an email from the industrial arts teacher at the high school asking if anyone had a small storage shed that they would like built for them. He was looking for a project for his shop class to complete, but did not want to buy a shed himself for that purpose...he may have mentioned something about budgets cuts. John jumped on this opportunity right away, and he was able to secure the student labor for our shed! He delivered the shed kit to the school a few weeks ago, and now it is already done...they even painted it for us! I can't believe our good fortune. The students were able to work on a nice building project and now we have a completed storage shed! Lucky day, I say...

Here's the shed now:

The shop teacher helped the students cut about a foot off of the width so it would fit in our yard better, and he even made sure that it could be disassembled easily so that we would be able to bring it home without hassle! Such service. Right now it sits in our garage waiting for its final assembly. (And yes, our garage is in an absolute state of dissarray...organization is on the horizon)

Here's what the shed will look like once it is fully assembled:

Thanks dad for the kit, and thanks to our local high school shop class for the assembly!
