Shed

We came down the week after Christmas to do some work on the house. Unfortunately, they still weren't done putting it back together so we decided to start some outside work instead. On this trip we poured the foundation of our shed. We went through over 2 pallets of cement. For those of you that don't know, that's quite a bit. Each bag weighs 60 lbs and each pallet has 56 bags on it. That means that Don lifted over 6,720 lbs that day. No wonder he was a little sore.

First we cleared and leveled the site
Once the cement has dried we can erect the walls of the shed

One section done
We have to pour it, tamp it, and then smooth it
Some of the damage
Don mixing the cement
Pouring it in the frame
Smoothing it out
