March To-Do List Item #1

Build a shed!!

 

This weekend, Brandon's parents came to town so Brandon and his dad could build a shed in our back yard.  The shed was constructed in a matter of about 14 hours over a day and a half!  They took advantage of the nice weather on Saturday and got most of the work done and then finished up Sunday.

 

Brandon and his dad make a pretty good team.  Brandon would take one task while Craig would do something else and together, they work pretty darn fast!

 

After lunch, Brandon's sister and brother-in-law came over.  While the guys continued to work, us girls did a little shopping and got pedicures and by the time we got back, they were getting ready to start the shingles! 

They got half of the shingles done on Saturday before calling it a day and decided to finish up the shingles and the trim on Sunday (luckily they got that far because it ended up being pretty cold on Sunday).

Once they finished up on Sunday, Brandon didn't waste any time getting the shed filled!

And of course, I have to include a picture of Koby...his idea of helping was to follow the guys around hoping one of them would want to take a break and throw his ball!

It's hard work being a dog!

We are so thankful that Brandon's parents were willing to give up their weekend to come help us (I use the term "us" very loosely)!  I know Brandon really enjoys working on projects with his dad and I think his dad really enjoys it as well.

***EDIT***

I should add that the shed is not completely done because we still have to paint it, but we are going to wait on that part until it warms up a little more.
