I am very
proud that the back yard shed is now finished. Elena will spend a lot of time later
today cleaning out the inside and the outside. Sunday, we will fill it with
tools, birdseed, barbecue chips, etc.
It was a battle to get this project
accomplished. I had to battle a collapsing supply chain. The first time that I
ordered the 350 lb. shed, a trucking company lost it. The second time that the
shed was ordered, it arrived almost one month after the projected delivery
date. I was constantly on the phone battling with Amazon and the company in
Maryland that handled the sale.
Once the shed in a large package was
delivered, Elena tore apart the package. She hauled up each component to the
back yard. The next battle was to find a concrete contractor to pour the slab
for the shed. We had several turndowns. Finally, one of our readers directed us
to a great concrete man who did the job.
The final battle was to find a handy man
to assemble it. With the current labor shortages, it is hard to find workers. I
finally found a wonderful gentleman named Todd who works for Lavallis Handyman
Services. He worked into the night two times to get it finished.
I did all this while suffering awful
fatigue due to the Covid-19 booster shot.
