Shed

It was a hot weekend. Hurricane Hanna ended up to be a overnight rain shower so we were able to get stuff done. I used the bonus weather on Sat. and Sun. building the tool and lawnmower shed.

It's fun to do rough framing. As a world renowned boatbuilder, I'm more attuned to exact tolerances and finished surfaces, but the shed was much more rugged and rustic.

I made the mistake of showing it to Joanne before it was finished, which is always a a problem because people can't see your finished vision. She said that it looked good, but I could tell by her face that she was horrified.

No matter. It will be fine when I'm done. The'll be pictures.

Nothing like the privacy of a shed fer boppin' yer baloney. Spent a lot of time in pappy's shed, "fixin' the lawnmower". To this very day, the smell of gasoline and mildew gets me misty, thinkin' on thems care free moments, northwest corner of the shed, by the broken window, eyein, Ms. McSorley hangin the launderin, sweat tricklin' off her brow, wind blowin' her hair and frock this away and a that, her massive udders quaking as she stretched to pin up her tent sized nickers, . . ooh, I must pardon myself. Carry on with yer shed constructification.
