I am always looking on Nextdoor on the free or for sale items in the neighborhood. On Friday I saw a post that had three shelving units and the catch was all of the pile needed to be taken away. Lots of “to the dump” was in the pile and I figured for the 5 to 7 items I could use, I justified the 25 bucks the gentleman wanted for the GOOD stuff , with the head ache of going to the dump to get rid of the junk I don’t need.

With everything sorted and the truck full of my own junk that needed to go to the dump, I had the rest of the afternoon to cut down to height, paint and mount the ‘new to me’ shelving in the LEGO room.

With a fresh coat of paint and cutting off the bottom section of the shelves to get rid of the water swell wood, I also had a sheet of 1/4 inch board to make the backs of each shelves.

This extra sheet strengthened the shelving units and allow a more finished look once i painted them.

With the shelving in place I will start to clean up and reorganize the room. The goal is to use the shelving as a display only of built LEGO kits.

I have a few other organizing cabinets that I will put together and place in the LEGO room.

These are nice because they are covered with a plastic laminate, which is easy to clean and I have all the shelves doors and hardware.

After the guy saw that most of the items would be going to the dump, he did give me back the 30 bucks that I had given him when I first got there… he said to use the money for the dump run. So not a bad haul for good stuff that cost me a dump run.

I have been waiting for a handyman to help. but that never happen. And the shed was not building itself so I went out today around 0930 and put the tile roof on the shed. ladders and lifting each tile up to the roof was the hardest part… but I got it done! All by myself… I want to build all by myself… I think there is a song in there or the sun and heat has finally made me crazy… but wait it turns out I AM Crazy doing this tile roof on a shed!

Here is some photos… (If you don’t like heights be forewarned!)

Next up stucco!

7 Days! a whole week and I am still slowly getting the shed built.

Yesterday was paint and more roof work. I used the trim color from the house paint to get the details the same colors and once the stucco is done I will paint the exterior the house color.

I painted all the trim, the doors, the front step, the vent and the work bench. I added the roof runner on the front and put the foil backed adhesive rubber on the seems of the roof top.

It was nice to get everything sealed… now that we are in monsoon season I know that the water would destroy the wood details, so before I painted I sealed all the wood with a latex primer.

I will see if my ‘Nextdoor’ post will find me a roofer or handyman that is confident enough to get up on the roof. Until next time… Have a great Fourth of July! Yay America!

A few photos trying to develop a branding and advertising… seems like to me it is going to be like the shop in Louisville.

Little Horse Books & Vintage at https://www.littlehorsevintage.com/.

A small trailer with wood crates on each side. A small table with a nice colorful canopy above for shade. More drawing and photos to follow.

Vintage speakers, old cool toys, vintage items, books, specialty LEGO kits and gifts for men. Many other items in the photos but an idea of that to get my business plan started.

Some cool art was put on the streets of Ogden. They have large horses with a different theme for each horse.

Here are a few pictures from my trip.

This street had many buildings that had cool signage. Some of them had a ton of Neon Lights and will take my camera next time I go to capture the neon lights at night.

The full moon was taken at 3 in the morning.

Flowers were hung in the street lamps.

Because it is Sunday I had just a few hours that I wanted to get a few more things done on the Shed. Working on the roof, I was able to get one of the rolls I bought of the adhesive sealer on the roof.

Still not as confident to just jump up there and get the roof done, so it looks like i will be needing to hire someone… maybe next week.

UHG!

Door handles, a door lip on the one door to block the seem, and more work on the inside…

For the handles I knew I was going to paint everything so I used some Sailor Jerry bottle caps for the spacers for the handles!

I Had Adrienne take a photo of me next tot he shed to give my sister a perspective on the size of the shed.

Added some details around the doors, got the door in, all of the stucco chain is up.

Lots of foam seal on the roof line and anywhere there was a crack or opening.

Back wall on and took three tries to cut the roof notches out… all the felt is done, where you see the back felt will be the stucco.

Adrienne had to help hold the top section of the back wall until I was able to drive a few screws in.

Made a shade door that fir perfectly out of the closet door I cut in half.

now no one can see in. but if I need more light I can open it up and have light on my work table.

The formal inauguration took place on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at 1500 at Madera Post 131 Membership Meeting. District 2 Commander, Gary Smith, conducted the inauguration with the assistance of outgoing Sgt at Arms Mike Davis.

It was pretty hot so i only worked about 6 hours today. Got all the walls covered except for the back… need to get another sheet of OSB.

Put up some of the felt and tomorrow i will start on the chicken wire and the roof.

I need to figure out how to cut two sheets of 4 ft by 8 ft and make the two into 64 inches by 98 inches.
