The LiL Shed That Could
When you buy your first house, you buy some stupid things that you think you need,
and then...you realize pffft what was I thinking!!
so for 30 years this lil shed thingy has been taking up real estate in my back yard.
It's been moved all around the yard and ended up shoved in the corner behind the A/C,
where it has sat for the past 15 years!
It's too small to house anything big...like a rakes, shovels or
even a wheelbarrow so it collected used car tires!
ya like that's so practical!!
set the shed on patio stones
So I cleaned out the tires and dragged the shed to the back of the house.
Laid some patio stones down, leveled them up and
set the shed up on the stones.
see what I mean...too small for anything practical!
I mean, it's cute and everything but it's butt ugly too!!
*I snicker as an idea formulates in my devious brain*
I have left over house siding!!!
yup! that's gonna work!!!
outside and inside corner pieces installed
and I remembered to take pics of the process
yay me!!!
pic shows all of the outside and inside corner pieces
of siding installed
siding started!
me looking at this photo...
all proud of myself!!
and then I see it!!!
oh the horror!!
the lil shed isn't sitting level with the siding of the house!!
CRAP!!!!!!
last side to be sided
never mind the levelness...
just finish the shed!
ta-da!!
there...all done!
well...except the doors and the lid
(not too sure how I'm gonna finish those yet)
So I'm standing back, arms folded,
admiring my siding skills and feeling proud!
ta-da....this lil shed is now my new potting bench!
OH...that skid that you can see in some of the pics...
hiding behind the patio table...
it now houses all of my hand gardening tools
like trowels, rakes, dandelion weeder
and my pruning shears!!
Yup! next year's project is leveling it up and
'beautifying'
the doors and lid!

Have a question about this project?
I love your suggested materials list.
I'm a big fan of spray paint, why don't you paint the lid and doors either another tone of the siding color or whatever your house accent color is.
