When we purchased the store in 2010, the previous owners had built a new
lumber shed. It is a steel building with four large garage doors. When we remodeled several years ago, we enclosed one of the doors, but left the other three where they were. The challenge we have had over the past few years is whenever it is windy when it rains (which is always), we get water in the store. The bottom seals don’t hold it back, no matter what we tried.
So as part of the remodel and moving of products, we removed the doors and framed in the openings. It was a bigger project than I estimated time wise, but
that is par for the course. We were able to get the framing, house wrap and metal in before dark. We then made a last minute paint job thanks to our friends, Ross and Gina. The temperature was dropping and it ended up raining and snowing the next day, but the paint is holding.
Also a special thanks to our friends Kely and Jason for helping at various times during the day to get all of the work done. It was after midnight before everything was done and all of the materials that I had sitting outside were brought in, just as the rain started to fall…
Our next step is to add a few windows and then insulate and finish off the inside. The windows arrive next week and then we will have the inside finished and will start moving more product. That is definitely not the best part of the project…
