The October Project

Every month, for the next few months Tim and I have a major projects planned. September was the Crafty Cottage and it took a little longer to finish up on it then we had planned but we still should be able to complete October's project in time. Our mission is to build the shed, go down to Jacksonville and clear out our storage unit and bring all the stuff up here. The Crafty Cottage is complete short of moving all my craft stuff in it but the electricity is on temporarily because the outlets are being rewired to meet the highest standards set. In the house that George and Lisa are building they were required to put in child resistent outlets and George wants us to have them in the Crafty Cottage just to on the safe side for the final electric inspection. Tim has the outlets out and when George's contracter comes he will put in the new outlets. I will then begin to move my stamping and craft supplies into the cottage. So now it is time to begin our October project which will be building a storage shed. Almost every fulltimer RVer has stuff in storage, due to limited space in the RV, and we do too. When we sold our home there were some things I just did not want to get rid of so we have had a storage unit, in Jacksonville, FL, for four years now. What is in our storage unit? Family scrapbooks and photos, Christmas, clothing, more craft supplies, tools and more. We knew at some point we would settle down and we would have room for the stuff in the stoage unit. To do so we need to build a storage shed. Our new storage shed will also house our washer and dryer and a freezer. So we bought a 10 foot by 14 foot storage shed that Tim and I will build together. Tim started clearing the ground yesterday and will continue to work on that today if weather permits. We have a busy day planned today, it is Heritage Days in Parrottsville, so we will be checking that out and then watch some College Football. Right now Tim is digging out and preparing the ground to build the storage shed. We chose a metal shed with a barn roof because it met our needs and our budget. When we lived in Florida we had built a metal storage shed for our well pump and it is still up today, 20 years later. So with that kind of success we think this shed will work out well for us. We are going to insulate the shed too. So now you know what our October project is: The Storage Shed and I hope you will follow along as we constuct it!
