Building the Pump House

 First of all - scroll to the bottom, and look at the pics from the bottom up.  I don't know why they all loaded backwards.  So frustrating! 

About as DONE as it can be at this point, so that we can keep it straight and square.  I'm sure moving it will be a "killer worry" for me...........  The front and back doors will go on at the Property, and the "shutters" on either side of the window, and the trim and the trex decking.  Then of course, we'll have to paint and put plywood and metal on the roof.   We are back to waiting for the water to subside.   Let's see......  what other project can we start on?    

We picked up some SWEET used Trex decking for FREE, and will be putting it down on the deck of the porch.  It's so heavy, we'll do it down at the Property.  

Thatcher loved to hang out and help.  He even built some benches of his own to use on the porch. 

What's that in front?  A porch of course :)  

Seems they always have an audience :) 

It's bigger than it was, and a little extra lumber was needed.  The back part of the shed will be the Pump House part, and the front part will be a mini-bunk house. 

We didn't want to wait..........  We are not patient.......... We (being Zac) haha.  So we started building in the shop.  The plan is to build it, and then take it apart to move it again.  Of course we won't be taking it ALL apart - we will leave the roof, floor and walls intact.  

We wanted to get started immediately down at the Property, but discovered that with needing to move the pumps and pipes, that they were STILL UNDER WATER, because of the high water table..........  Dang it. 

We got it home, and basically took it ALL APART  - every last nail.  This was unexpected to me, because I thought we were just going to put up the walls, and rebuild a 10 x 12 shed.  But Zac had OTHER ideas.      

After we took it down............

Remember this shed in Herriman?  We took it down on the 24th of July.  It was 10 x 12.
