Taking down the tree

We started talking about building a deck but the conversation shifted to building three sheds instead.

From shooting-the-shit, a designer, developer, and contractor decided to make it happen.

Basically making a household chore I never did
(cleaning windows) and multiplied it by 100

Building the tool shed

we also started building a tool shed

and dried in the side of the original shed

Unloading 12ft beams from a U-Haul

for the structure, we needed 12ft beams but only had a 7ft car

so we rented a U-haul. multiple times.

Clearing the backyard

and continued to clear the backyard

we moved those bricks so many times

The rented excavator in the yard

flattening out the ground, digging holes for the posts

The flattened ground with a trench

re-flattening out the ground

with the excavator, we dug a trench for electrical and water
