Ok ,Shed is all done except for gutters . I will put those on later, after I save some money up. You would be surprised at how much money it cost to build this shed.
 A rough estimate would be around $4500 but I'm sure after I total all the receipts It will be more.

The good thing is, now i can actually use my garage again.And everything toxic or flammable can be moved out to shed.I have a brother and brother in-law that are both firefighters.They told me that when they go to a house fire , they always worry if people are storing gas or propane in the garage or cellar.A 25 pound bbq propane tank can blow a house to pieces as well as kill quite a few people.Very Dangerous!

   OK, all Done with vinyl siding, now to organize and move garage contents into shed. I like the look of it, matches the house.I will post some more pics of inside garage and shed when i get them organized and cleaned up.
   It was a fun project and  the whole family pitched in to help, which is the best part of this project.

   I was surfing the internet today and I found this site,

www.dorm-room.net , funny site about dorm room life at college, That looks like a lot of Styrofoam cups, must have taken quite a long time to do that.



As you can see, I get get sidetracked easy, probably why shed is not finished yet.The vinyl is all up except for the rear soffit.I
would install it today but its is supposed to be like 95 degrees out today. I will post more pics sometime this week.

If  I come across anymore good sites while  I'm  (ahem) working, I will post Those also.

   So its raining out again today, I went out to make sure the roof was not leaking, all is well with the roof but I see I have some water coming in under garage door.

The floor is made of osb (oriented strand board ) ,so it will eventually blow out from getting wet. I painted the threshhold with Kiltz Latex Primer, a Temporary fix until I can Figure out what I should do.

Any suggestions about how to solve this would be appreciated.

Found a good size watermelon in the garden. I guess I cut it open too soon.It was pink inside and didnt taste very good. I think I will stick to tomatoes and cukes

As you can see garden isn't very big, but it produces fairly well

   As you can see I started moving things into the shed. It's Just amazing the amount of stuff  I've accumulated over the years. Do I really need 12 caulking guns? Probably not. Notice the vinyl siding on the floor? I picked it up today at Home depot. I also bought all the corner posts, j channel,  starter strip and I found an open pack of roof  shingles,(the same color as i was using) so now I can finish roof.
