This was the shed that the former homeowners left for us. Nice - right? They were classy people. My husband dismantled this old thing last month. YAY! But then we didn't know what to do with all of the debris. BOO! We called a company to come haul it away, but they wanted $500 to do it. Holy Guacamole! Do I look like I am made of money?Instead, we decided to bribe the garbage men to take it. Every week John would haul a shit load of wood to the curb, along with a case of beer. And every week, the garbage men would happily take the beer and the debris. We threw away the shed over the course of 4 weeks, and it cost us a total of $78. AWESOME! We are sooooooo smart.
And now we have this...
More specially, we have this...
A nice open space for our new swing set. I am so darn excited! We are going to enclose the play area with garden timbers and put down wood chips. We are also buying one of these...
You know, so mommy will have a place to sit and rest. Am I lucky or what?

Yeah, our play area was landscape timbers with mulch, and I had a bench, too.
We are not home project people... I am impressed!
I am loving that swing set ~ looks like a great place to sit, and relax.......with a glass of wine or two (or three!!).
Just off to catch up with your other posts!
Hope you are all well.

Uhmm... Does the old lady who complains about your tree live behind you? If so, she really needs to worry about her weed garden first!
Totally lucky! I love it!
I can't wait to see your finished project. It'll be great!
