Men and Power tools

I am one of those women that got lucky in the Handy Husband dept.  By and large he is a fairly handy man to have around.  He can fix most things that need to be repaired, his only exception is anything to do with electricity.  I am more than happy to call an electrician if need be.

Well yesterday was a DIY day for dear sweet hubster.  He has purchased carshed to be put up at our home.  This is great.  The down side was we had to move it and put it up.  This is where it got tricky.  Thankfully we had extra hands in this task, in the form of my two oldest nephews, hubs brother and his wife.  This little project was started before I got home from work, with Thing 1 and Thing 2...thankfully.  My involvement came in when I received the phone call to come to their location and bring the power tools.

After about an hour and a half and several rounds of cussing, and swatting at wasp, and nephews climbing on top of car sheds, and the wifes being told to come move this but watch out for your toes, the project was disassembled.  Now onto the fun part...MOVING this 18x18 monster.  Thankfully the move was less than a quarter of a mile.

Hubs sends me to the next driveway up to watch for traffic.  By this point I am feeling like either the one that watches out for Police during a drag race, or the wheelman in a heist.  Either way it was rather comical.  So Hubs calls to get the all clear, and as he pulls out of the drive to go to our house, I notice 2 heads bobbing up and down behind the trailer.  The image gets clearer, and I realize it is my oldest two nephews, running being the truck to make sure nothing falls off.  So I get a good hearty laugh out of this.

The project is pulled into its new home---my house.  Then the reconstruction starts.  This was suprisingly easy.  It did however take 2 hours to complete, simply because it was pitch dark.

I am please to report that not one toe was smashed, not one finger pinched, and not one husband/wife spat took place.  This in itself was a major accomplishment.  Now to enjoy having a shed set up, mostly for cookouts and get togethers.  First big to do is already being planned. =)
