The Shed is Dead…

Finally. Our shed has been an eyesore for the six years we’ve lived in our house. It’s pretty much the only thing we haven’t re-done on the outside of our house. After a series of storms and major ice/snowfalls the roof fell in…mostly. It was finally time for us to do something about it.

Here’s a video of how it went down:

After contemplating a $300 dumpster rental to get rid of the old shed, we opted for a different idea:

And here is a hillbilly-parenting photo…and yes, Ava is only 2 and a half years old and she can ride a bike:

And here’s my new parking space…well…once it’s clean:

Nothing beats that glow.

Now I’ve just got to find something on the cheap to replace it with!

    What I want to know is, how did you guys decide who got to drive the tractor? Arm wrestle? Cage fight? Rock-Paper-Scissors?

    I always think it’s interesting that men like to destroy stuff. What’s up with that? Real men don’t wear protective eyewear.

    I was cracking up watching Ryan Doan beat it with the stick or bar… Oh man. I also love the pic of Ava, at least you made her wear a helmet.

    I love it that you called the photo of Ava a hillbilly-parenting photo. So…do we refer to this as a barn-destroying instead of a barn raising?

  10. Awesome last picture. The environmentalist in me really contemplated on the junk you were releasing into the atmosphere though. I hope it wasn’t too toxic, especially since it was so close to your living quarters.
