We had some good friends coming in for the weekend so Phil picked up a kit for a 10x10 shed that said it would take 2 men 2 hours to put together. It sounded like the perfect Saturday morning activity. Well, maybe if both men were Amish and had super-powered nail guns this thing could have been put together in 2 hours. In reality it took 6 people more like 15 hours. But, thanks to our wonderful friends we now have a gorgeous shed (named Le Seb Shack in honor of the man who really got things done, a clean laundry room, and an empty porch just waiting for a cool evening.

A lot of things are growing down here. Some of them can be seen here. Others I'm not really comfortable posting on the web--but rest assured, our farm hand is growing.
It looks awesome, thank you guys we had a very good week end in MS. And I very like the name of the shed : )
ReplyDeletey'all need to learn Squonk's "X4" rule. When Paula and I spec out a project she'll say..."oh...that'll take about an hour." That clicks a gear in my head that says "oh...that'll take about 4 hours." Why? Well, there are so many variables - locating tools, buying new ones across town, getting that bolt I lost in the packaging, dodging rain showers, etc. Also the X4 rule provides spare time - assuming I finish within the allocated interval - to put away my tools and clean up the work bench while grabbing a couple of cold ones from the manfridge.
ReplyDeleteSo, my advice, which you didn't ask for, is to always X4 your project time. (X6 with a newborn...which is an altogether different project.)
