This is my new shed. The guy in this pic is putting it in place. I got it a few days ago.
Yesterday I started transplanting Zinnia's and Sunflower seedlings out of my garden in front of my shed. So far I've just got a small flower bed to the left of the door. I think I'll plant sunflower's on both sides. I might remove the sunflower's I planted in front to the sides and just have smaller flower's in the front.
.
I want to make it cute with flower's.

Nice looking building. Bet it'll look even better when you get the surroundings planted and in bloom.

Anna, nice sized shed. Looks like that guy is pushing it into place with an ATV.
Checked my cups on the window sill to see if my tomato seeds had sprouted yet, it's been about 10 days since I planted those, & nope, none yet. But, I was surprised to see some tiny mushrooms that had grown. Pulled 'em out & threw those away.

Thanks Dave and Pete. I am worried that I ordered too small of a shed, but hopefully not.
I have some bracket's to hang up to hold my shovel, action hoe, rake, hoe, etc.
I have another set of brackets to hang my drill, etc on.
I'd like to get some shelves inside. The guy ask me if I wanted any lofts and I told him no and the reason for not getting them is bc I can't climb on a ladder to do anything up top. Just too dangerous for me bc I am too clumsy lol
I shoveled and pull some weeds up this morning on the left side of the shed. I am going to use bricks to line it with. After I get that done I will go out and throw down some sunflower seeds.
The sunflower's and Zinnia's will def add color around my shed.
I've got things in my mind that I've got plans to do around my shed. I think it'll be cute.
I've got a small Crape Myrtle tree I am thinking about digging up and planting it by my shed.
I have a small fig tree kinda sorta in the middle of my yard. I am thinking about digging it up and planting closer to my shed to keep the front yard opened. Also that will be less my son has to weed eat around.
I might plant some Hisbiscus seeds and plant them on the left side of my shed.
If all goes as planned I think it'll look nice.
I'll keep y'all updated as it progresses along the way.

Henry, I think you're right. When I only looked at the shed's small image in the post I mistook the circle, shown below, for a back wheel. Dunno what it is but it's not a wheel. |

The shed comes on an 18 wheeler. The delivery guys uses this tool to drive it to where ever you want your building at. I am not sure what they are called but it is a very neat tool.
Hank, he uses 6 special cement pads that are about 5" thick to put the building on and then he used some wooden chimmies to level it out. The building is on the opposite end of my garden........so if I need something in my shed for the garden I've got to walk about 50 feet or across my front yard.
I put it on the north end of my property so I would have the whole front yard to do whatever I want to.
My property measures 167' long and 75' wide. When I moved here I had to put my mobile home long ways bc the land wasn't wide enough to put my 80 foot home side ways which I hate, but I didn't have a choice.
I left 15 feet in the back from the property line and so therefore I've got a big front yard.
I've got a big slab of cement that I want to put in front of my door so I can use it to step up and step down. It is very heavy and there is no way my son can move it by himself. The shed isn't high enough to use steps.
