Finally got caught up with things that needed to be done around the house. I just submitted my approval request to build a storage shed. I cut a pile of lumber all day so that I can build my 8x12 storage shed. Tomorrow, I'll frame the walls up. When the approval gets accepted, then all I...

Just completed our garage sale. Made $164, not bad for stuff I was just going to donate. Although nothing was sold from my garage :( Here are some renderings of what I have planned:
