Almost done!

Needs a little more paint, a ramp and a few pieces of trim, but here it is. Seems like it took twice as much work and twice as much money in materials as we thought. That seems to be true of any worth while project whether at work at home. All in all it was fun and rewarding. The lawn mower and other tools should be safe for many winters to come.

Weekend 2 Day 2

It is now starting to look like a shed. Some of the siding is up, the windows are in and it might even protect the ladder and building supplies from the weather, but still a lot more work ahead.

Cosmos

These Cosmos are over 5 feet tall. Think twice before you use MiracleGro Twice as Big fertilizer.

The Dahlias

Here is a close up of the Dahlias in the center garden.

Panoramic view of the gardens

Here is a view of both the center garden and the wildflower garden near the woods.

Our pond

The sun shining on the fountain and surrounding plants makes for a nice picture, but it is a hot day for shed building. Wish the pond was deep enough for a quick cooling dip.

One big Oriental Lily

This is several Oriental Lilies that formed a single plant. Our neighbor across the street said she could smell the sweet aroma at her house.

Patiently waiting for all the pics to be taken

Mike is one tired shed builder wondering when Barb the picture taker will finish playing with the new toy so more shed building can be done.

New Camera

This is about the time that our old camera broke so we combined a trip to Lowes for more building materials with a side trip to Circuit City for a new camera. There was little progress made on the shed until Barb (the picture nut) played with her new toy. This is a view of the center flower garden.

Weekend 2 - Day 1

Solid deck, framed walls, support roof beam etc for roof and now shingles. We developed an appreciation for skilled roofers.
