was getting tired of having the saddles and other horse tack in the
kitchen,
laundry room and elsewhere in the house... We decided to make a
room
for the horse equipment. We ordered a building kit from Lowe's
Home
Improvement Warehouse. It's called the Bradford Model and is 8
foot
by 12 foot. All the pieces came pre-cut and ready to
assemble.
It took one day to build the floor using treated 2x4s and
plywood.
Two more days to put up the walls and roof. Another day to shingle the
roof
and install the trim, and another to build the interior fixtures and
caulk
the windows and doors and touch up the paint on everything. We
located
it right behind the workshop and gardening room. |
Floor
ready for the new building. |
Pressure

Weatherproofing
the floor. |
After
4 days of work, there it is! Sorry we didn't get a chance to
document
the actual construction steps, but we stayed quite busy trying to get
it
done. |
The
windows were purchased on clearance
and
didn't come with the building kit. |
The
peach tree will provide shade in the summer. |
