The Queen of All Garden Sheds







This is one of the projects that Tom has been working on - turning the loafing shed by the garden into a garden shed. We used one of the windows taken out of the house during the remodel and the front door (so it has a peek-a-hole, as Tom calls it). Tom, his friend, Charlie, and Paden all worked hard digging out the old hay and tall bermuda that had grown up in there, and they used the old bi-fold closet doors from the house for shelving. I used more of the saltillo tile that we took out of the house for the floor.
The only thing we lack is a doorknob and the metal sheeting for the walls. We're waiting for the metal store to get some seconds in so we don't have to pay full price.
I LOVE my garden shed and can't wait to move my gardening stuff in. There is an electric line run out there already and Tom is going to put in an electrical outlet (I'm secretly planning to put one of our unused stereo systems out there) and overhead light. I'm giddy!

Very nice! One question..why would you need a "peek-a-hole" door to a garden shed? Obviously, if its the only door you have to use then that's great..but did he specifically say you needed a "peek-a-hole" door? Also, peek-a-hole sounds so funny! Everyone knows its called "peep-hole"..LOL

I know. Paden and I looked at each other and mouthed, "peek-a-hole?" and cracked up for several minutes. Dontcha know every girl needs a peek-a-hole door on her clubhouse so she can keep out the unpopular girls and all cootiefied boys?
