From home renovation inspiration to the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Read all about the renovations we’ve completed, the ones we’ve yet to complete, and the furniture restoration + woodworking we do to keep us busy during the in-betweens.

Easy shed build

The woodshop is housed in our two-car garage so we’ve been dying for some extra storage space for typical garage items. For the longest time, we kept the lawn mower in our sun room. Luckily, the shed was a quick build once we could figure out what we wanted. From delivery of goods to final coat of paint was 1 month and 10 days. We took a vacation in there as well and primarily only worked during weekends on the shed.

Working outside during the summer is great but of course we started roofing the shed the hottest week all summer. It was nearly 100° while we stood on our borrowed extension ladder hammering in black roof shingles. If you’re ever in the same situation, toss a few ice cubes into a standard bandana and tie it around your neck. It makes the hot sun slightly more tolerable.
