Greenhouses, sheds, patios, and more...




There is nothing like a discussion of sheds to excite Austin, well, except possibly for a discussion of TV antennas. He has lots of ideas for this summer. I think his list for the growing season, as it stands now is: make a patio and re-grade around the house to channel water away from the basement, rebuild the back steps, make a garden shed, re-paint one side of the house, and renovate and expand our existing shed.

Wow.

Keep in mind that list is on top of replacing some rotten siding, building a sand box, doing the garden, transplanting lots of trees this spring, and all the little and not-so-little maintenance activities that keep a 200 year old house afloat.

Austin is a busy guy, but the funny thing about him, is he can do a ton of projects without having an air of busy-ness. He gets things done without being neurotic about getting things done. Maybe over the years of marriage his approach will start coming more naturally to me?

In any case, I wanted to highlight some pics of some of the recent projects we've done (by "we" I mean Austin), in case you aren't already suitably impressed with my guy. :)
