Update!

I did not have jury duty today, it was canceled.    So, I went shopping.  :o)

When I came home, I found this!  

Yep, that's a sign on our new shed!

I laughed so hard!  My neighbors are loads of fun!

New Shed!

Remember this post from months ago?  http://runswithscissors4.blogspot.com/2011/10/fall-harvest-day.html  That post was from the day we ordered our new shed.  

Since then, I wondered and bit my nails, wondering if I picked out the right colors, if they would look okay, how the shingles would look etc.

Well, no need to wonder anymore!  Today was delivery day!  I was horrified when it poured last night and wondered if he'd be able to drive a truck on the wet yard.  It did sink in at a few spots, but not too bad, not huge ruts which we were worried about!

Here comes the truck down our tiny, narrow road!  It arrived at 9:22 AM.

Not much room to bring it in, it's amazing how these men can drive these trucks!

This shows just how close to the house he had to get to the backyard.

Getting closer!

Now, they swing the bed of the truck around so it's facing the direction you want!  

Now, they start moving the bed of the truck forward.

Okay, this is just plain scary.

Make any adjustments as to where it is to be placed.  Continue to move the truck bed out as the back of the shed rests on the ground.

And there it is!  They added the ramp kit to the doors and had it all set up!  They actually left our house by 10:17, isn't that just amazing?  

My hubby says I can have the left side of it, I'm going shopping for carpet, a sofa, light and table!  Now we have to build shelving for the inside and move everything back in it from the old shed and see how much space is in it!

Landscaping around it will have to wait for next year.  I will be adding two curly willow trees to each side of the door that I all ready have in large pots.  I think a bench along the side and I'll probably keep it simple with a few potted plants.

Now I want to re-side the house to match the shed!

Fall Harvest Day!

We have been shopping for a new shed when a neighbor gave us a flyer for Fall Harvest Days at Green Acres Outdoor Living:  (click on logo to visit their website)

It was an Amish event with an Amish BBQ, free coffee and donuts, free ice cream, an Amish bake sale, buggy rides for $3.00 and they had a fire truck there for the BBQ, I suppose, but the two firemen would show kids the firetruck and gave them little plastic fire hats, it was so cute!  

This place was one of those WOW places!  More than just outdoor furniture and stuff like that, they also had indoor furniture made by the Amish that was so beautiful.

We walked all around, looked at every shed, talked to salespeople and then went to the BBQ.  It was a full meal of chicken, roll, macaroni salad, applesauce, chips and a drink, all for a whopping price of $5.00!!  OMG, it was so good.  People were coming just for the BBQ!

And yes, we got ourselves a shed.  This should be fun, having this thing brought in here.  I'll be glad when this is over and done with!  It is made to your order, we got a light gray siding A-frame with dark gray trim and shutters and charcoal shingles.  I've decided I want to live in it and he can store his lawn mower in the house!

Isn't it cute!?
