Yet another update on the craft shed project!

Tweet

We took last weekend off because the nephew who is doing the work broke some bones in his foot, and it was hot, AND I had a migraine last Sunday... However, Friday, September 23rd was pretty nice, so I went out to my shed. I turned on the air conditioner to start cooling off the shed. Then I took everything I could move (meaning almost everything in it) out, or moved it about and swept out the shed. I then took the swifter out with wet cloths and "mopped" the areas I had swept. I also took the wet cloths and wiped down the new shelves we had built for the shed so they were no longer dirty. I then put the shelves in the places they are going to go, so the nephew can screw them into the wall when he comes back. Finally, I brought back in the stuff I had taken out that had to come back in - tools and stuff - but I left the scrap wood outside - not like its going to rain any time soon... By then it was about 4 p.m. (I had started about 2:30.) I had bought a couple of chairs to sit out on my shed's deck, but I brought them inside. I dusted them down before doing so too. I then went back inside, fixed a cool drink, got my reading glasses and a book and went outside to wait. Well, my guy friend, J, was going to come over and we were going to talk "lights". Before there had been a florescent fixture, but that was too heavy to go out without studs to attach to, so we discussed going to pick up a new kind of ceiling light. After all, it doesn't have to be a light to work by, I have task lights for that, just needs to provide general lighting. After 5, J and I ran off and found a little ceiling light that should do the job, he's going to install it on Sunday. It was really quite nice to sit out in my shed... Well, I stayed up WAY too late last night, I discovered a new game on facebook... so I crawled off to bed about 2 a.m. None the less, I woke up about 7ish, and before 8, the roomie and I were out in the nice cool morning and we put a couple more hours into the sheds project. To get the brown shed empty to start the construction, the nephew had loaded all the stuff into the green and blue sheds. He had put most of the furniture in the green and the boxes in the blue - tho actually its amazing how little actual boxes were in there, except what we had put in from the green shed sort - I think those actually went back into the green shed. We took another load to Goodwill, threw out almost a garbage can's worth of old paper - the city won't take plain paper in recycling - and put a coffee table up on freecycle (its gone!) We also put some large trash out by the curb, but no takers yet. We found some stuff, ran some stuff through the wash and just generally have gotten more stuff done, and some more order in the shed project! Don't you know, they are saying its going to be 100 again tomorrow... I can't wait until it really cools off, by 10 when we were shutting it down, it was already getting warm! The picture is of the sheds before too much work had been done, the deck on the front of the brown shed hasn't been built. So, have you had a constructive day, even if you didn't get enough sleep?
