I also need to replace my shed, which shouldn't be too bad. The hardest part of that will probably be getting rid of the old shed.

i got rid of an old shed last year - pretty big wood one, with shingled roof, etc

we were supposed to cannibalize it's wood to build a new one but due to a snafu during deconstruction had to just demo the whole thing

if i could do it all over again i would have just rented a dumpster

we wound up cutting it into pieces and i ferried it to the local dump in about 5-7 trips, and had to pay the guy at the dump bc technically was construction waste he's not supposed to take

fun times

was kind of exciting though

life in the fast lane

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I remember having problems with not being able to find/fix a leak, but that's different from replacing the head itself.
