Just About Like Building A Boat In A Basement...

Sorry these are horribly out of order! Maybe I'll fix it--later!
(Above)Bringing the shed into our yard
(Below)What gives? Neither the tree or garage!
(At this point, it is off the trailer and on dollies)
Nope--No room on this side...
...nor on this side!
Let's give it a shot! Maybe it will fit!?
Back on the trailer
Guys and their remotes...working the trailer
Finally....It's where it is supposed to be!
Lookin' good and ready for use!
Lookin' bad and ready for demolition--almost!

...once you get it built, how do you get it out?!
Wayne has had some serious storage woes going on here! Something like too much woodworking stuff and not enough garage! (Except he says you can never have too many woodworking tools!)
This weekend his new shed arrived. The only problem--as it was making its way into the back yard--neither the oak tree or the garage was willing to scoot over to fit the shed through.
While I look back over the pictures I can tell about the time I got too nervous to watch what obviously wasn't going to fit! There is NO other way into our backyard!
The guy that was delivering it kept saying they would get it back there NO PROBLEM! They finally unloaded it off the trailer and put dollies under it and pulled it through. Once the eaves cleared, it was clear sailing into the backyard!
I'll post a picture of the old shed that we are emptying out. It hopefully will get torn down this summer! The new shed is much improved!

Looks nice, guys. I know what you mean about being too nervous to watch, let alone take pictures. We've had a few stories like that.

Now that there's a place for all the tools, can you expect some nice woodworking projects, Lori? That's a skill I wish I knew...

Sounds a little bit like when they were putting our house up, and trying to get the third piece to fit on the foundation, and in the right place under the roof on the front part of the house, and it didn't fit....the guys who did the foundation/basement didn't follow the right blue-print!
Some very stressfully moments there!
The shed looks great! as Amy said, now hopefully he can put those "not to many" tools to work :*)

Sounds like what we'll be going through this summer or next, as long as we get the house! The bad thing is the garage is the thing they're worried about & we're planing on doind a new one once we're in there!
