Here comes our shed

Sooner than we had expected, our new shed got delivered. It is such a smooth process and totally painless for us.  Thankfully the foundation or shed pad was ready. Just a couple of days before we had added a little bit of clear stone to top up the sand and gravel foundation that we had filled in previously and I had posted about in my last update.

The finished shed pad

A heavy 4x4 pickup truck with a trailer that had two sheds on it pulled up yesterday. On it sat one shed for us and another one to be delivered to someone else in Leamington. 

Our shed has arrived

The driver had no problem backing into our lot and smoothly went along the fence and in-between the mature trees to get to the gravel pad.


Skilful maneuver along the fence and between the fence and trees



With a hand held remote control the Mennonite driver maneuvered the shed with the help of the high tech hydraulic on the trailer smack into the middle of the pad. He brought two guys with him who directed him where he could not visualize the position and proximity of the foundation border.  It all went very smooth. 



It's a marvellous trailer that can slide in all directions


Meanwhile our next-door neighbors struck a conversation over the fence with the delivery guy and his helpers as they discovered that they are all Mennonites from the same area. Small world.


Our trailer is loaded up with 2x4s, generator and tools, ready to go!







So here is now our new shed. I think it is a cute one. It has vinyl siding on the outside and should be maintenance free. The entrance doors are located just in-between three trees with enough clearance. There are a couple of vinyl window boxes in front of the two windows. The shed is tucked into a corner where the trees will provide a shady canopy in the summertime.



Benno is already busy inside wiring the shed up and preparing it for some inside insulation and paneling. Good thing he is working inside as it is pouring rain off and on today.

I am sure I will post more pictures of the shed and other beautifications on the lot, so stay tuned.

Hope you all stayed dry and had a good day today.

  1. It does look nice but is Benno going to anchor down the shed because I remember him doing that to the other one. Looking forward to more of his project.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

    1. Rick eventually he will as soon as the stores have stock again. Benno loves getting into new projects to keep him occupied. Guess most guys are like that.

  2. Nice looking shed, looking forward to the finished project. They sure have a slick way to unload and position the shed right where you want it.

    1. We already marvelled at that technique when the guy brought us the other shed. So easy and a joy to watch the process.

  3. What a beautiful shed! Love how it is positioned perfectly with the doors between the trees. I know better than to think that wasn't planned! :) I'm sure Benno will waste no time at all having it ready to use.
    I also love the slick delivery and drop off trailer.

    1. Yup, the position of the shed and door was planned as soon as we had picked out a shed. It will be a nice one too when all finished.

    1. No Contessa, not mine per se, although I could have this or similar if I so wish. For now I'm happy with the PVC one I'm already using.

  5. What a nice shed. I do like those windows with the flower boxes. Must have been fun watching them put it in place.

    1. The flower boxes are a nice touch and they are durable out of PVC. The company produces many nice shed designs but we are limited to 108 sq ft for a shed before applying for a building permit here in our area.
