The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

There are good and bad things about what was accomplished today in our back yard. First of all we are going to get a new shed. This of course is a good thing. The one that was there had a rotting floor, and no door to keep kids out of the dangerous stuff inside. We have someone coming out Wednesday to build a new one for us. YAY! So that is another good thing. Not only are we getting a new shed but we aren't going to build it ourselves. This is a picture from the company we are using. Our's isn't going to be exactly like this but this will give you an idea. It will be white with dark green trim to match our house.
The bad is that I got some nasty splinters moving the rotted wood. Ouch. They have been bugging me like crazy. Really deep and difficult.

The ugly is now we have a HUGE pile of rotted wood with nails in it at the back of our house. So much for keeping kids out of dangerous stuff huh? Who knows how we are going to get rid of that dangerous eye sore in our back yard? Anyone have any brilliant ideas? I want to cry!

Yikes!

You need a truck, a couple of guys with thick leather gloves and a trip to the dump.

The side of our house is covered in all sorts of random garbage so we need the same thing.

Hey, between the two of us, with some gloves and a truck I think we have our hubbies' next guys time all planned out! We actually have young men in our ward trying to earn money for scout camp doing jobs around the neighborhood. We might be just what they are looking for.

Can you burn it?

Cool new shed. I'd have to say the hardest thing about having a house is not having a pick-up truck. We have the same problem.
