More Groundwork
I really hope this is the hardest part because this is not fun. The root has been extracted and we’re continuing the trenching to bring everything even. Fortunately for digging the trench, I’ve been using the tiller which is making fairly short work of it. I’m getting a major workout for sure.

Root of the Problem
Or the problem of the root. I’m beat!!! So I’m trying to get everything nice and level for the skids, two of them are on the existing foundation and the other two are slightly uphill from the first two. So I’m going to lay down pavers at the same level as the foundation, started trying…

Sandy’s Turn

Replacement Air Compressor
So with the impending build of the shed imminent, it’s time to procure the tools to get er done. While my Craftsman 30 gallon compressor has served me well for many years (close to 20 I believe), it looks like the motor has given out, they don’t make the motor anymore and Craftsman and Sears…
