20000901 - Fence/shed story has come to a conclusion. Fence painted and shed purchased and assembled. Not a bad looking unit at that, sound and nice fitting. I'm speechless in awe...
20000903 - While updating this I found another proud owner of a similar shed. Clique this for a photo to get a better understanding of what I am talking about. For some unknown reason a simple plastic box has me almost jumping up and down. Notice the clean lines, the complete lack of former beer can material, the instant relief of never having to paint it, I could go on. Perhaps because it's new with doors that work as promissed and not dented in the shape of a car.
What's going on with garden shed's and their doors? What kind of sic people design these things? How does one hire a group of designers with not a scrap of sense in any of them? I'm thinking a committee (or some kind of "action/implementation plan") could have a hand in the design comes to mind. These metal sheds I speak of are not inexpensive nor easy to buy, they want top dollar for painted scrap metal with negligible design work put into them. Sliding doors, horsefeathers! If you have had one of these you will know what I am speaking of, the one day you really need to get in you crumple the doors doing so. Then it's no doors closed for some time until you regain the presense of mind to repair them, all the while holding back the strength to crumple them into a ball and send them back to become beer cans. Once that metal becomes creased it takes a wholesale re-engineering job to establish satisfaction once again.
20000905 - Back to the salt mine... Can't wait :)

The House
The fan keeps us cool...
20000901 - The 7RP (70's Renovation Project) is stalled. Summer is still distracting.
20000903 - The weather is poor at the moment and this means it is time to spend it wisely in the garage. The other on-going project(s) is always to muster the strength to keep a space for garage projects. These are some of the mysterious needs that husbands have (refer to shoe procurement above) involving the gathering of power tools into a small building and savagely damaging otherwise sound pieces of defenseless natural wood fibre into shelves. These shelves are seldom a time nor money saving project. Two rails and four brackets with a couple of boards put up in five minutes are the best method of building shelves I have found. The time spent in the garage can be better used by watching the game or catching that movie on the old TV you put in the shop years ago. This way both time and money have been saved and you have the satisfaction the game was witnessed by more than just your buddies. I think I will save some money and go to the garage now...
We are waiting and standing by to solve another shelf emergency.
