Rainwater collection system continues....






 While I got on the roof via ladder (an absolutely terrifying experience I have no intention of repeating) to clean out the gutters, add improved gutter filters, and run the hose to determine the flow patterns, I really need some rain to give it the true test!

Building a woodshed - Part 2


So my husband (Tim) took on the rest of this project, completing it in a day of hot, hard work. Because we don't have a larger sized vehicle we arranged for the delivery from our local Ace Hardware of the 10ft 2x4's, plywood sheeting, and tar paper.   While we had one package of roofing shingles (donated by the previous home owner), I ended up having to get a second package.  Since Tim and I have different idea of what "light grey" means, we ended up with a 2-tone roof.  


One major summer project done before the rains come! (It's supposed to rain in a day or two - check out my post about the water barrel project that is also closer to finished)

The inside demensions are approximately 8ft wide, and 4ft deep (there are 3 rows of wood) We are likely going to cover the rt side (when looking at it) with a tarp or other cover to protect the wood from winter wind and rain. I'll post an update in the spring with how it fares. 


Best of success on your projects!
