Big brain moment

[goldendesign]

Assembling a sheet metal shed for my mother and father. 

12x10x10 came in a pallet in about 4000 pieces. Was am erector set puzzle for engineers. 

Biggest issue was the heat! Heat index was 105 with no clouds or shade to be found. I was dying, hell I have 1st degree burns on my fingers from the first few hours until I had my big brain moment. 

I set a sprinkler and a hose to constantly shower the sheet steel and building. Much much better

Ah hell no. They ordered this shed from Sam's club. The warranty explicitly states not valid in rain or wind.

Like, it's a fucking shed!? Where else is it gonna go, in the family room?

It's as secure as a wet tissue. If it was returnable I would have ob seeing it. But they bought the thing in May and only now decided it needed to go up.

So called the lumber yard amd ordered enough to make new framing and attach it to the shed walls. Hopefully make it somewhat sturdy.

Can you stop by and pick up Dottie’s platform builder on your way to help out?
