The Leto Shed!


After I think (I've lost count) 13 years, the shed is finally becoming reality. Mostly because our garage has begun to bust at the seams with all the stuff inside of it. Thank God we have been so organized these past 14 years otherwise our cars would never make it in there!

I shouldn't really call it a shed because John is making it like a gardening shed with windows and doors he salvaged from an old plant nursery and a very steep peak. It's going to be beautiful and beneficial. Of course, Jake has been in there helping his dad as much as he can and our wonderful neighbor friends have helped John in holding up the frame, sheathing and roofing. Yours truly has helped when I could holding tresses, sheathing and filling in by mowing the lawn when the twins nap. Next is the siding then paint. I will try and post pictures of the stages as they finish. It's going to be beautiful and large. We may rent space it's so big. I kid, I kid.

We will be replacing windows and painting our house later this summer too and it will really change the look of the house quite a bit. It's been 10 years since we painted it and the windows are original (and crap for that matter :p) but for now the "gardening shed" will be the guinea pig for paint colors. Can't wait!

All of this is much overdue but as you all know, having our family came at a cost but now we can enjoy our kids and fixing up our house a bit.

John is so handy and creative, he has saved us so much money and we feel really lucky! Check back once and awhile to see how things are going!
