Yes it's been a crazy few years. We bought the old motorhome for $100 a few towns away and drove it home, only had to put a charged battery in it. I got it stripped down to the floor and realized that the monsoons were coming so I bought one of those Costco style canopies to cover it up. That's when I realized it wasn't tall enough to put up the walls and roof so I started the shed project. The shed (like everything else) seemed way easier until I was hip deep in it a year later finishing the roof! :B Once I got it do ne enough to put the RV I moved it in there and breathed a sigh of relief. About halfway through the shed, work dried up and I went on unenjoyment for a while. We also had a finacial shake up at home. The wife was at her wits end and had run up some bills I didn't know about. Nothing too serious as it turns out, but enough to make us think of things we hadn't before. We refinaced the place and cashed out our equity and were able to get a construction loan to do the shop and house. The old mobile was a 1980 vintage and was falling apart around us. Now we'll get to dismantle that in the yard, my neighbors thought the RV teardown was messy!! :B
