I mentioned in yesterday's poor orphan shirt post that I've been working on a junior shed to go with Diane's big shed. When Lowe's delivered the box, I was perplexed: the box was hardly bigger than I am. How you gonna get a shed outta this? For being mechanically disinclined, I sure do get myself into a lot of "Mr. Fix-it" jams.
Maybe my buddy, Dana, can figure it out. Reading the directions? Is that even allowed?
Really, it's all about the toolbelt and hat (and Lady Di's hamburgers, of course).
After the first foray, which included a trip to the building supply store, and several trips to Ace Hardware, we got the foundation figured out.
On day two, we started to get some walls up.
Friend Gale, ever competent and always in motion, stopped in to the shed raising.
Dana teased my poor little cordless screwdriver. Yeah, well, "I'm rubber, you're glue..."
At the end of day two, we had the walls up, but I'd lost Dana and Gale for the duration. They were a huge help, but I'd have to soldier on by my lonesome.
Daylight Savings Time is tough in the morning, but I did have enough daylight after work on Monday to finish the roof. I'd leave the doors for another day.
I finally finished yesterday.
I wonder why they gave me all these extra parts?
All cleaned up and ready to load. Just call me David "Two Sheds" Mathews.
I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina with the Lovely Lady Di, and son Tyler. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck.
I'm a moderately interesting fellow, who has the good fortune to know or be related to some very interesting people. Is there anyone out there?

Thanks, Frandy.
You know Lowes does deliver those suckers already assembled. Just saying...
Damn!
Think those extra parts would work on my toilet?
On, or in, Star.
