Weekend project: rebuilding the shed

 I needed to replace my leaky old shed and this weekend turned out to be the right time. I had extra hands and could get a few more.
 I picked up most of the supplies we would need on Friday before Allen got here.
 The new roofing material - bright white to help cut down on excessive heat build-up.
 Allen and I got all 4 walls built on Saturday. We covered them in case it decided to rain, but luckily, it didn't.
 We emptied some of the stuff out of the shed and unscrewed it from the base, then after Heather got here, tipped it off the back of the base. Heather and Lisa then dismantled it so we could re-use the sheet metal for the new walls. There are lots more pictures on Heather's facebook page.
 We had proper supervision, of course.
Almost finished covering the walls at lunch time today. I did finish the center section. The new door was just a bit oversized, so I'll have to sand it down before I can install it.
A big THANK YOU to Lisa and Jim for helping, as well as Heather and Allen.

Good bye to the blue truck

My Chevy truck was bought this morning. I hope it serves the new owners well, as it did for me.

Stormy night

 There was a double rainbow during a small break in the storms. I managed to get a picture of it.
 One shaft of sunlight lit up the hill out back. It was spectacular, but only lasted for a minute or two.
Even more impressive without the camera flash and showing the dark sky behind the hill.
