We broke ground for the pallet shed this week. Fearless Mom and I started to lay the corner posts and the first one was a cinch, the second one was not a cinch and then after that the auger went down again (insert long stream of swear words here....) So we are back to digging the remaining posts by hand and after several months without a drop of rain, the ground is hard as a rock. Luckily we only have to go 2 1/2 feet for each one but this is still gonna take some time.
Two up, four to go.
This is going to be the back end of the shed and the bricks are being used as floor support. The finished dimensions are going to be (roughly) 10 x 10 with a sloped roof and siding to make it more weather proof. The concrete blocks will provide a floor elevation of 8 inches (roughly) to keep water out. FM has not decided yet on whether she wants to use wooden barn siding or aluminum siding but obviously, she has some time to make that decision. For now, we still have to conquer the dry earth.
Stay tuned!
