The Roof, The Roof...

"The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire"...not really. Although, putting up shingles in the summer in Georgia can be pretty toasty.
Eric and I decided to build a shed a couple of weeks ago. The first few steps were quick and made us feel good. Then we realized that we could probably use a little more help and rounded up a few good men to help us. With their help, we were able to put up the rafters and board the roof. Since Eric's days off don't normally coincide with any other sane person's schedule, we were back at it ourselves yesterday.
Eric doesn't do well with heights, so up I went to be the official roofer. It's not quite finished, but it won't take much more to finish the roof (probably what we'll be doing tonight when he gets home). Then we have one wall (the door side) to finish and voila! a HUGE shed!!
Some of you may wonder why since we want to sell our house...easy: selling point!! With this large of a shed, it's bound to entice people to check out our house as opposed to those others in the neighborhood. And, it will eventually be dressed with the same vinyl siding as on the house, so it will be even more appealing.
Oh, yes, we have a lot of work cut out for us, but it is so fun to build something and work together. I highly recommend it!!
