Deconstructing the Shed

Once upon a time there was a little garden shed that was built by the previous owners at a time when there was no back yard.  The little shed was the only thing you could see when you looked out the kitchen window. I disliked it.  I wanted it gone, but Chris insisted it served a purpose, and I suppose it did, but it was in the wrong place when we began to create a back garden.  Since I was dealt lemons with the ugly shed, I decorated it up so that when I looked out the kitchen window, at least I would see some colour. 

Well, 12 years later, and after 12 years of moaning about not being able to see the vegetable garden from the kitchen window because of the shed, Chris finally agreed to take it down.

We actually did it together.  Every piece he ripped apart, I took and removed the nails and stacked into piles of kindling or piles of trash.  It was all cedar so we had lots of siding and shingles to keep. It's actually the first and only project we were able to do together without a fight or one of us giving up.  It was a happy project!

 

Now we have to plant some grass in the spot were it used to stand.
