Our garden shed. No bedrooms, no baths. If it were in California it might sell for over a million. Ha! In the shed's upper right corner you can see the end of one of two tie-rods that we had installed a year or so ago to hold it all together. We had the door replaced back in 2003 (or was it 2004?). It needs to be re-hung since things shifted before, and when, the tie-rods went in.
New shutters are necessary, or at least the old ones need to go. The ivy (dead and alive) needs to be removed from the walls. Cracks need to be patched and a paint job is in order. Maybe the whole thing should be demolished and replaced. Problem: it's hard to justify working on this building when there's work to be done on the building we actually live in. Of course, as every homeowner knows, there's always work to be done in the building you actually live in. Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, "It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another." Ain't it the truth.
It has its charm.
ReplyDeleteRoseanne was right, there's always something to do when it comes to owning a house. It never ends!
ReplyDeleteYup, it has its charm. It is, after all, just a storage shed :)
ReplyDeleteI love your garden shed! Do you really have to make all those improvements? I hope not.

An old shed like this one is a joy forever! (Ode to a French Shed;-)
ReplyDeleteIf that were in our neighborhood (near San Francisco), it would sell for a million, and the new owner would replace it with a two-story 4,000 square foot house that fills the lot. That happened next door to us; they even dug up and replaced all the dirt. -- Chrissoup
ReplyDeletemitch, it's well hidden...
ReplyDeletemichael, so true!
judy, and it contains all manner of torture instruments. ;)
