For a few years now, we have looked out at our shed and thought about expanding it. We'd originally built it so that we could park our tent trailer under half of it, but now that we've upgraded, it's been wasted space. Wednesday night after Lennard got home from work, we were talking about getting the patio furniture put away before it snows again and I made the comment that we should just expand the shed while the weather was still good. Well... that comment led to us running down to Home Hardware and buying the lumber we needed! We knew that we could move the existing wall out to the outside wall, so we got that done Wednesday night! It took a bit of fiddling to make it fit, but it turned out great!
Thursday, after work, we built the other two walls to close in the shed and got all the OSB put up!
Friday we went in to Lethbridge. We'd planned to only get groceries and Halloween costumes, but then Lennard decided that we should just side the shed while we were working on it! We've been planning on siding it ever since we built it! We managed to get a couple boxes of siding onto the van's roof rack.
Saturday, while the kids were at Champs (basketball), we got the shed wrapped and then we started putting siding up!
It was a bit of messing around to get the j-channel figured out around the window and to get the starter strip as level as possible, but once that was done, we got into a groove and made some good progress! We were babysitting Rachel's kids too this morning, so I'm really happy with what we got done.
We had to quit here so that we could get showered and ready to go to Stake Conference. We're hoping to get the rest of this side done to the door on Monday night after we get back from piano lessons.
It's going to be SO nice to get stuff out of the garage (ie tires, extra rock and shingles for the house, Tonka trucks, bikes, etc.
