If you remember, last summer/fall, David took down this old shed at my mom's to put up a new poll shed as his shop. Here are the links if you need a refresher and some before pics.
Here is a quick update of where he is with his shed this summer:
Unfortunately because of our late spring and then very very wet June, he didn't get stared on this as soon as he would have hoped. The first step was to bring in fill and get everything leveled out. Because it was too wet, this didn't happen until the end of July. And then of course a few days later we left on vacation so he didn't technically start building anything until the first week in August. He has been doing the whole thing by himself with Josh's help, and alittle bit from his friend or Jon or Kristen. Here are a bunch of pictures showing the progress from August until now. (I missed the day when Hennings were over bringing in the fill and leveling it off...Bennett's favorite day to date - he got a dump truck ride, backhoe ride and bobcat ride from them!).

The first few weeks of actual building went alittle bit slow and tedious because everything needed to be so precise. But once he started with the roof tin and siding, he's been moving right along and it looks awesome. He hopes to have the remaining siding on the front done this weekend. Then the next steps are to insulate the inside, put tin on the inside and bring in a cement truck to cement the floor. The goal is to obviously have this all done yet this fall so that during the winter he can finish off some of the details inside and move his tools in. He's saving himself about $7000 by building the shed himself and he's doing a great job at it and it looks amazing!
Wow. That looks great! Is he going to have a clubhouse in the loft to replace the old one?!😉-Gina
ReplyDeleteThat is so amazing that David can do that now. In my mind, he is about 12 years old.
