A Wood Shed

In the creation of this wood shed, I actually learned a few things:
Joining the ranks of wood burning is
 less romantic than it seems and
 shed building, as I have discovered,
 isn't as easy as YouTube makes it look.
The Easy Shed
and my inspiration picture.


You are probably wondering
 how safe a" turtle built shed" could be, I thought I would
 add that no children or pets will be housed in there
 although I am not opposed to Mr. Turtle occasionally
 seeking residence, but only when he can't see things my way!
Also, I think Mr. FT hides his chainsaw in fear of me sawing my head off,
and chocolate flavored cereal is just wrong!




Saddled with my tool pouch and cordless drill, I went to work.








With the roof all done,  I climbed up top the next morning with great pride,
  to see trusses more crooked than a corkscrew!
After a lot a bit of cussing and making sawdust

 this happened!


And this



And this











Then temporary paint until I can scrounge some siding.





 Mr. FT is home tomorrow!
Hopefully he will have kind words about the shed
 or he might
 have to take up residence  and eat chocolate flavored cereal.

  
Cheers.

  5. Looks great! Nothing is as easy as You Tube or HGTV make it look. They remodel a kitchen in a weekend, we took 6 months to do our old kitchen, and then we moved and bought another house with a kitchen that needs remodeling, LOL.

  14. Seriously, HOW did you get the trusses up there??? Seriously. That's an awful lot of work to house firewood. I thought you were building a SHED. *I guess I'll be out there eating chocolate cereal with the mister........* Chocolate cereal is wrong on so many levels.

  16. Wow, you have been busy! I think it looks amazing. A few words that will NEVER cross my lips are "I am going to build a shed." Good thing I have The Man who really enjoys all that building stuff. I think Mr. FT should feel very lucky!

  19. WOW!!!! I hope you deck this out into the She-Shed craze that's going around the interwebs and banish Mister FT to the garage like any self-respecting She-Ra would. This officially makes you the baddest ass lady friend I have.

    You are one talented, resourceful lady. I didn't know you did bouquets. Have you ever seen the one in my sidebar? I don't have an etsy shop (bouquets are too hard on my mani lol) but I see you do. Congrats!

  23. The coastal dwellers use the eggs as a food source and more recently they found there was a lucrative commercial demand for the eggs. The turtle eggs are easily sold to seafood restaurants in Leon or Managua or any other major city.namesforpets.org
