Storage shed project

Monday, August 22nd, 2005

Well, she bought a storage shed from Lowes. It took us full days on Saturday and Sunday to finish it. We were a sorry looking pair, but we got it done!
The heat index was well over 100 degrees both days – that really sucked. Once again I was wholely impressed with my friend’s determination to get this thing up. She doesn’t know how to quit!

We started late Saturday morning by unpacking everything and laying things in groups on the ground. The instruction booklet for this particular storage shed consisted of several diagrams with text that largely said: “Connect parts blah blah to part blah blah as show in the diagram.” Not alot of help for a couple of newbies, but after double, tripple, and quadrouple checking the diagrams and some tense discussions as to our respectvie opinions as to what the diagrams is actually showing us we got it up.

Busting Ass

Tuesday, August 16th, 2005

I’ve been helping a friend move into her new appartment. It’s taken severl days of moving and cleaning but she’s moved in finally. This woman is eight months pregnant and has been busting her ass for several weeks to get the move done. I am so amazed with her!

The next issue is where to put everything! She has moved into a smaller appartment and does not have room for everything. She may buy a storage shed to store stuff. We’ll see.
