Woodshed

Rocking the IFA hat that my dad got me:) Love the way it fits! Thanks for the hat dad.

What a stud!

We staked out where we wanted to build our woodshed. We also planned where we will be moving our dog kennel and we will be cementing that as well. I can't wait for things to continue to get organized! I love the feeling of accomplishing our goals! I enjoy having a husband who wants to build and make things nice for us! 

Our neighbor Scott was extremely helpful in digging our holes for the posts. He spent his Saturday morning with us instead of helping his wife babysit their nephew. THANKS Scott! 

It was interesting to see the different type of soil that was in each of the  spots that we dug.  Our first hole we dug took a really long time and it got stuck in the ground! We had to get the other tractor to pull it out. It was a pain in the butt it took us two hours on one hole! I kept think that it was going to be a long day if all the holes were going to be this difficult. Thankfully the next three went a lot faster! The soil or clay I should call it wasn't  as dry. We are built on  a solid foundation of clay that is hard as rock! Our garden is going to be an interesting adventure to do this year. 

My upper body is feeling the affects of carrying the posts with Brandt and then holding them in place while we cemented them in the ground. I really need to start working out so I am not this sore again!

This was my first time mixing cement and I really like doing it this way it was way easy and nice. I was able to mix it all by myself while Brandt made the other holes bigger.

Once we had all the holes dug we started to measure the frame  of the shed to make sure it was square... our holes weren't right on as they should have been so we had to dig two of the holes out even more to make the building square. It worked out great though! 

Our kitties decided to come out and join us while we were cementing the posts. They were so fun to watch as they jumped on the tractors and Griz jumped on the post I was holding to chase a bug that had flown on the post. They make for great laughs in our lives:)
