the building and some of the stuff that was inside it.

As you can tell by my pics, Brad and I have been very busy this weekend! We had this very big, terrible eye-sore of a "building" in our front yard that we have been talking for months about moving out back. I don't think either one of us really wanted to do it because we knew how big of a job it was going to be!! I am not going to take much credit because Brad did most of the hard labor but I did help a lot and he even said I surprised him today b/c I worked out there with him ALL day! First we had to get everything out of the building and decide what we were keeping and what we wanted to get rid of. For example, we discovered a whole box and a half of wood floor left over from the job we did right after Hannah was born 5 years ago that had been buried and forgotten. So now Brad wants to use it somewhere in the house (kitchen, probably). Also, He has been hanging onto a bunch of pool filters that he took off a pool at his g-ma's old house, probably 5 yrs ago too, "just in case" (like we are going to get a pool someday)! I finally convinced him we don't need those silly things! Just a bunch of stuff like that. Hannah said it looked like we were having a yard sale with all that "junk" out! After we sorted thru everything and put it in Brad's g-ma's building and garage until we get ours put back up, we had to take off the ceiling panels and walls. The really hard part came today when we had to get the very heavy floor on a trailer, get it out back and then put the building back together!! My truck, though, it didn't disappoint!! =) Everything actually went a lot smoother than we thought and we almost got the building all put back together, except the ceiling panels. By that time I was begging Brad to quit!! And we had to go get the kids from mamaw's. She has a new puppy that we all are in love with!! He was just plum tuckered out today! And that's my day! Oh yeah, and the kids have been sick all day.
Wow! What a project to complete in one weekend. Congratulations!

I HATE those big projects but it's such a relief when they're finally over. I'm sure you're glad to have that behind you! I hope the kids feel better soon
ReplyDeletethanks ladies!! It is like a huge chip off our shoulders to get that done! Brad said next time the building needs moved he's just gonna push it over with the truck and get a new one!! You couldn't pay us enough money to do that again!!=)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! Those are the types of jobs you just HATE to do and you put it off as long as you can! Hope the kiddies are feeling better today!
