We Have a Shed!

I was going to post several pictures today of the shed building progress yesterday, but the internet at the library was down.  So, tonight I’m only going to upload three photos to save on data.  Two of the completed building and one of Rog in his new man-cave before we moved stuff into it.  

It took four guys four hours to go from an empty concrete slab to a completed building.  The walls, roof joists, doors, and braces for Roger’s workbench were all preassembled.  The guys showed up with a trailer with all the parts and started putting the jigsaw puzzle together.  It was amazing watching them work - everyone had his job and it all meshed together in the end.  It was very entertaining.   Rog said last night that he felt like it was Christmas Day eve - the anticipation is over and the “present” has been opened.  

After the crew left we went to Lowe’s in Casa Grande and spent our $200 in gift cards (from credit card points) on outfitting the inside - shelving, shop stool, miscellaneous hooks to hang things on.  Then last night we went shopping at Amazon and bought a small solar panel, some solar outside lights and a power source thing for minimal power if needed in the shed.  I’m hoping we are done shopping for a while, although, we had managed to save up over $1K in credit card points over several cards to help pay for all the miscellany  - thank goodness.  We have reached that magic number now and have to start being a little more frugal.    

Next week we are supposed to be in the queue for having the patio built.  That will be nice.  I’m beginning to feel like the red silty sand is overtaking me and the RV.  Learning to live with the constant dust is a challenge and I find myself dusting down the dark counters most days.  

Roger ended up taking the propane tank out and finding a place to get it filled yesterday.  We had our sign out for the propane man for three days and he never stopped.  The office never returned calls, so we will just do it ourselves.  Apparently they didn’t want our business. 

Can’t remember when I posted last, but not a whole lot  other than regular day to day stuff going on.   The weather has been a little cooler - chilly in the mornings and today only up to 80.  Looks like that is what the next week will be and then a week of 70s and high 60s.  

Friday I have a haircut appointment.  I need a haircut desperately but am afraid to go - new person.  Who knows what I’ll look like when she’s done.  Keeping my fingers crossed I’ll still be presentable - actually, more presentable than I am now!  

Nothing on the agenda for tomorrow.  If it is warm enough (for me) I’ll go to exercise class in the afternoon.   Then I need to do end of month financial fun.  The day will fly by - as have almost all of them since we have been here.
