309 viewsClose-up of the single-to-double hitch the previous owner made. I had to use a 1.25" to 2" adapter to pull it behind my Jetta. Was a little squirly even though I went no faster than 60mph. Definitely will be stable once I make a real hitch for my Squareback.Apr 02, 2007

259 viewsLooking through the door. I used a paintable, gray sealer where the roof meets the walls, the air vents, and around the door to reduce the infiltration of bugs and drafts. I also put a perimeter of compressible foam weatherstriping around the door to further close up gaps.Mar 20, 2007

shed_finished_002.jpg
231 viewsFinished. View from side of house. The sheds come with a sturdy, locking door. The door is wide at 45.5" (1.16m), and 70" (1.78m) in height, and swings very easily. I like the width but a taller door would've been a definite plus.Mar 20, 2007

305 viewsDelivery truck got stuck in the soft earth. Another truck came along with the replacement door and helped tug it out. Minor damage to the lawn but easily patchable. Like I really care.Mar 20, 2007

346 viewsThe builders setting up the galvanized floor framing. I messed up :-( The site wasn't exactly square and I should've expanded the width an additional 3" for a total of 6" per side, left and right, to give a little more spacing between the shed and site walls. But the guys said it's no big deal and, overall, I did a really good job.Mar 20, 2007
