The Storage Shed is Halfway Done

Tim did all of the pre work for the shed prior to us putting the walls up yesterday day. The instructions said once you get to the wall stage start early and plan on not stopping until the walls are up and support beams are in. The instructions were correct! Tim and I started at 9:00 am yesterday morning and by 6:00 pm we were done. Thank you George and Lisa for helping us out in the morning with the shed. Had they not have given us a hand Tim and I would of been out there for a couple more hours. We started with the four corners then the support bars for the sides then moved to putting up the walls. Around lunch time the power drill ran out of juice so we stopped and plugged it in to get a charge while we had lunch. After lunch, Tim and I worked the rest of the afternoon. The drill did not get fully charged so we had to do a lot of the afternoon work the old fashioned style - manually with a screwdriver. We finally got to a point where we could quit for the day and the storage shed is looking pretty good. Today we start the roof, which might be a little tricky, so we will see how that goes. Once again, once we start we cannot stop until the whole roof is completed. With the storage shed looking like it will be done today we are planning on traveling to Jacksonville on Monday to clear out our storage locker. Yay, I will have all of our things with us in one place! That hasn't happen since we sold our house in 2010! While we are in Jacksonville we will also have to get new military ID cards (mine is expiring soon and Tim's needs to be updated)and see our family and friends. We will only be there for a couple of days and while we are there Lisa and George have offered to take care of Shadow for us so he won't be making the trip with us. I hope we can get everything from the storage unit into the truck. If not I will have to make some decisions of what to get rid of. Time will tell! Check back tomorrow for progress on the storage shed and have a great day!
