SHED RESURRECTION, PART 8

It's been a while (LINK) since the shed has been mentioned. No, it did not burn down even though the neighbors are probably tired of looking at its sorry state and wish it was reduced to ashes. Progress of Trojan proportions can be reported thankfully. Since the cement floor was poured last summer I have been busy, albeit in short bursts.

All the old siding was pulled off and new 1/2" plywood sheathing slapped up. The crooked north facing wall was straightened. An electrician installed brand new lights and outlets. Two windows and a door were installed.

The most visible evidence of progress is the new galvanized steel siding. Look at the bastard now! Not such a hovel anymore is it? I did the alley side by myself and Fran did the door side and yard side pretty much single-handed. We'd all be dead without Fran. It's that simple.

Next summer we'll have a new roof put on her, cash permitting of course. Although I am sure Fran would be willing to help (and by help I mean do 90% of the actual work) I think he has more than enough similar projects of his own that need attention. Perhaps I could even help him out for once?

There's only a handful of people in the world so selfless that their acts of generosity result in me being crushed by guilt. Fran is one of those people.
