The new Garden Shed

The following photos were taken during the week of setting up for and delivery of a large garden/yard shed that some might call a small house.

This shed was built by Stolzfus Structures of Atglen, PA

First, remove old shed,  This little guy served us well.  It was a 8' by 16' shed we kept our mower and yard tools in for about 16 years.

 
 

 
Next, prepare the spot for the new shed.  A local contractor prepared the ground and brought in the whitestone for this pad.
 

 
 
Finished pad:
 
Even large sheds are delivered by truck.

Using two of these motorized mules, the shed was brought to the backyard.


After all the work was done - here is the shed placed on the pad, built-out by the shed company and ready for use.
 
Some may ask "why get a front-porch built onto a shed?"  Well, the porch will make for a nice sitting area during summer months.  We hope to put in some flower beds or bushes around the front of the shed to give it some appeal.
 
Next step is to put some of our garage items into the shed and make room in the house by putting rarely-used bins out in the shed on the 2nd floor's storage area.
 
After that, the shed's "back area" will be used for a Solar PV system.  Pictures to come.
