the money pit

Starring....Me!
I loved the movie. Tom Hanks, Shelly Long...... Laughed until I cried. Until I starred in the remake. I have always been very hard headed. Make note - this will be the only time I will actually admit to this wonderful trait. It has been 50...years since my last confession....

I have a shed. It was falling down. It needed help. What was I to do?

Ok. Stop. Rewind. I was bored, I needed a project. There. It is out.

I am a fixer. I love to fix things. EVERYTHING.

It started innocent enough. $500. to fix the roof. I was suckered in on that. Yes it was Christmas. Yes it was the first one I was going to be alone. Yes, I was feeling a bit misty. So Yes, I said yes.
And our story begins here.

Paul is an interesting fellow. Olive is afraid of him. Tail tucked running the other way afraid. Paul painted the cabin and is still not finished...kind of painter. Which is fine. But Paul is who I hired to do the shed. Should give you some sort of idea of where I am headed on the shed. It started out ok.

Then enter Nathan and Casey. Both big strapping handsome young men that had remodeled the cabin a few years back. I had them look at what Paul had done....Let's just say they were gracious. Now Paul is gone and we have redone everything. Last week we pulled out the floor - and pulled out the vodka ...at 9am.

And again it is 2 more weeks.

The funny/strange thing is that I trust these guys. They are like family. And I love my place. It was built in 1932. Can you believe that? Something is still working from 1932? I was built in 1957 and I am not working all that well. I have to have lots of my parts worked on a lot. Thinking about having some of them remodeled...We have found old bottles - broken glass. Families, farmers have lived here. The road has been here since the mid 1800's. I love the history. The area was settled by the army in the 1800's and then miners. I may actually have that backwards.

I will take pictures today and try my best to get some interesting inside and out looks at my paradise.

have a great day!
