Home decor and renovation craftalong

I have yet to go into our shed…I hope that we don’t find any unwanted surprises like you did!

Take it easy…you have a lot on your plate so the shed will still be there…it ain’t going anywhere!! ha ha

We have a whole groundhog community in my yard. Between them and Watership Down level bunny populations I just throw “proper gardening” off my wants list and have fun with whatever stays. Lol

Sorry about your shed. That’s stressful when already elbow deep in a reno project.

When we moved in the shed was smack dab at the center back of a long grass lawn. And it was ugly. I steped in and right through the floor. We rebuilt the foundation in the corner from donated railway ties and thin plywood from a old temporary dance floor. Repainted and moved the shed. It’s still not beautiful, but it is useful.
The floor has held up for 17 years, so not bad. Not everything has been put back in. The fake window used to have glass but is falling apart. I still love it. I may paint fake muntins for fun

The subfloor has been fixed and the new slider is in… temporarily. There was a defect in the door, so they have to order a replacement. They re-framed my little closet (attic access) to be a bit narrower and deeper, with a slight recess for the fridge.

Something always delays things in renovations! Weather was our biggest culprit. They had to affix the stone steps 5 times now! Hope the last time was the end of it. The mailbox and grass are supposed to go in today, but I bet there will be another delay since the contractor is working three jobs all at the same time!

Anyway, here is the house that our painter (my nephew-in-law) took. He is headed back to work as the painter for the local college. Any touch ups will have to be done when he can get away.

Hey @TheMistressT, I just got an email from CPSC regarding railing cables that are recalled. I know you special ordered for your deck, but wanted to pass along the link just in case yours are manufactured by the same company.

Thank you for sharing this! This is not our brand, but I checked so see if ours had the same hazard and it did not. I feel better knowing!
