"Many hands make light the work!"

DAY 1- Tim and Brian poured the cement forms.
DAY 2- Keagan and Brian bolt down the shed's frame.
DAY 3- Brian fastens the poles together to form the shed's skeleton.

DAY 4- Brian uses the neighbors forklift and the helpful hands of Hailey and Keagan to rise the shed's skeleton.
DAY 5- Brian finishes the shed's skeleton with the help of Keagan and his friend, Tye.






DAY 6- Brian fastens down the roof's panels while Grandpa Jim raises and lowers him on the forklift. They worked until past dark.
DAY 7- Brian and Jim work as a team until dark to secure a few more roof panels. Earlier in the day, Engine 4 drives by on Township Rd. and catches Keagan operating the forklift. Needless to say, Brian got a good razin' the next day when he returns to work. They all think Brian is out of his mind!

DAY 8- Brian works on securing more roof panels. Brian and I sort through and organize the shed's panels.

DAY 9- Tim and Brian complete the roof and the side panels while Landon rides the quad.

Hailey says, "Dad, I want to come up, but I'm NOT TOO SURE about this!"

Hailey says, " Wow, it is beautiful up here! I am glad that I climbed 14 ft. up to be with you!"

Tim removes the old caulking and scrubs off the panels while Brian fastens them down.

Landon rode the quad while Bethany ran errands with mom and napped. She joined him for some quad riding late in the afternoon. They both thought it was pretty cool to play outside past dark. The quad riding in the dark was making Auntie Angie a bit nervous; so Keagan rounded up the two kids and brought them inside. The two dad's were still oblivious of it all! I sure am glad that Landon's mommy wasn't here to see it all. (lol)


"Thank You" is not enough to show our gratitude to the many hands who have helped us by the disassembling, moving, ground leveling, hole digging, concrete pouring, cleaning & assembling of the shed. None of this would've gone smooth without the generosity of our neighbors in letting Brian use their forklift and the fantastic weather conditions.

Thank you- Brian, Jim, Tim, Gregg, Hailey, Keagan & Tye. A very special thanks to all the wives who have graciously given us their husbands for the day.

TO BE CONTINUED...

I enjoyed all the pictures...sure is a huge task. Tim really enjoys helping Brian and Landon just loves being at your house. I'm glad I could "give" my hubby to you for the day...your hubby has pulled his weight around our house a time or two. ;)
