Sheds Update

So this past weekend on Saturday the 18th of October we finally got around to taking care of the sheds so that they can withstand the winter.  We had one dilapidated shed that we took down and used the spare parts to fix up the remaining shed.  It was quite the feat to get them on our property to begin with, so now we had to get them fixed up, which was a different kind of feat.  Luckily we had a lot of great friends come and help us out.  Since we will be storing a large majority of Amtgard supplies in the shed and crafting will commence in the shed as well, we asked our Amtgard family to come help us.  We fed them hot dogs and chili and worked and painted and had a good time despite the working.  Here is the dilapidated shed that sat lopsided on my property before the big day.

Here are a few photos of what is left of this shed.


Here is the good shed that needed some repairs.  Here you can see that this side is a big hole with a damaged frame
And here is the shed after they fixed the side and added a door.

And here it is painted up real nice.

I can't even believe its the same shed.  Our friends were great and worked really hard.  Here they are painting.

One of the amazing things was how carefully they took apart the one shed to use the parts to fix up the other one.  I don't feel so white trashish now with the nicely painted shed on my property instead of two old crappy looking sheds.  Here is a picture of some of those who came.  By the time we thought to do a group photo we were missing a few peeps.

Thank you all so much!  We couldn't have done it without you!

Lookin' good! Oh, I mean nice sheds :). (You've got a few, or one, cute workers there!)

It sounds like you guys had quite the barn-raising party! It probably feels nice to have them all tidied up!
