It seems like we’ve always got some sort of project we’re working on out here.  While most of them are somewhat small, like planning the garden or chopping wood for the woodstove, we have one big one we’ve been working on for a few years now.  We’re in the process of building a shed.

I guess most people assume when I say shed I mean a small storage area like where you would keep your lawnmower & yard tools; but this isn’t exactly the case.  Our shed is quite a big larger.

We started the building process back in January of 2012.  We haven’t hired any help except when pouring the footings.  Nathan and his dad are basically doing all of the work.  A lot of our friends have come out to help too which has been great.  Nathan has some hard working buddies who don’t mind trading labor for some beer and/or whiskey.

Here are some photos from the beginning of the process.  Not much other than clearing out the building site got done in 2012.  We started digging the footings out the following year.  Here are a few photos from that process.
