The Shed

After a year of living in our new home with several projects (landscaping) well on their way...it was time for a backyard shed. Our carport has been the outdoor storage closet of sorts; restricting the use of its major purpose in life....that is...to park our cars. Several weeks ago, we were blessed by some men from the church who came out to help pour a cement pad in the corner of our backyard to support the 10x7' shed we decided on at Home Depot. A coupla hours of hard labour and the pad fit snugly in and was left to harden for a week or so before we brought the new shed home.

A new family project!! The question was now...do you think we'll need help? It's kinda like big boy lego...right?!! The guys at Home Depot recommended that as long as we read and followed the directions, we should be able to do it!! YEAH RIGHT!! We got stuck on the "tools required" section (oh the shame -Laurie hangs her head)....a rubber mallet and a cordless drill. You are talking to the wrong family...we are SO NOT a family of tools. Ask me for a pair of pliers and you'll get the pointy jewellry needle-nose ones! Okay...we need help! Theron to the rescue!! We love Theron!! He is our HERO of the day! Da-da-da-da-! He came on the scene busting his gut at our feeble supply of rather feeble tools.


I like to see men reading the instructions!!
(did you notice the shed matches our house!)

Not only one...Theron has TWO drills and is apparently ambidextrous!! I was SO impressed!

trying to get the roof on right...it's hurricane proof...right Theron?!!


YEAH!!! And we're done!! It's definitely picture worthy!

Two shed building Kauaian cuties... Thank you Theron!!

(Big THANK YOU to Dad and Eliana for the housewarming gift!!)
