In the spirit of the quickly fading summer, we ordered our shed package last week. Building it will be one of two last outdoor projects to accomplish before the weather turns cool and the insides of our house echo with the sounds of parenthood. The shed package itself — an eight foot square, barn-style contraption — comes tomorrow, neatly stacked in a decidedly non-shed-shaped pile, probably to be delivered in the driveway. I’ll be spending the hours after work shuttling the pieces into the garage. It’s a necessary task. We need the space in the garage, and there are a number of outdoor implements, hoses, planters, and furniture — not to mention my summer tires — which will find a winter home in the frozen sanctuary of the yet-to-be-built shed. It’s going to be a busy weekend. |

If the weather is nice I’ll be building on Saturday morning and early afternoon. Anyone is welcome to help (hint hint) — but Karin and I are going to Nina’s 2nd birthday party at — I think — 4 o’clock or so and everyone not going to that will need to fend for themselves.
