Shed update!

The final steps of the shed-building project saw huge changes in our back yard.

We started by painting the newly completed shed (Eric and Wendy were responsible for the finish work). It turned out very well with grey as the main colour, accented by cream/white trim and a soft yellow door.

The excavator did a good job of slowing down the growth of the lawn, so we had arranged for new sod to be laid later in July. Lots of work by a crew of guys as they spread new top soil, leveled and re-graded, then laid the new grass.
Old lawn had to be ripped out



New soil

Ready for new sod



Looks so much cleaner!
After the final concrete pouring for the posts for the fence/gate, Adam put his handiness to use again to rebuild the fence to give Maddy a proper fenced back yard.

"THE" shed

Adam started building a large back yard shed with the help of some friends and eventually turned things into a whole back yard renovation. We hope to be getting sod for the whole back yard by mid-summer.

Here are a few pictures from the process.
This is the shed we are replacing - it is too difficult to get the lawnmower and snowblower up from ground level.

Our job was to feed the boys!

The electrician came later to install power for an outlet and an interior light.




Almost done!
