Sheds

After sitting in a stack of parts in my driveway for nine years, my two sheds are finally together.

Three of our kids decided to visit and naturally I put them to work on an old fashioned barn raising.  These two shed served for at least ten years in California mounted on a concrete pad.  Here they will sit on graded gravel in the wind and the snow.  They are made by Lifetime and they are terrific.

I am placing only replaceable items into the sheds.  So in the event of catastrophe the contents can be replace by insurance money.  Not the case with many hobby items.

The first items are my collection of miniature trees.  All mounted on sheets of plastic or on old CDs.  Fully painted, flocks, and well cared for.  All very tidy.

Each box is labeled with the contents.  It's not hoarding if the boxes are labeled. 

An insect catching sticky pad and a moisture trap on the shelf it insure the integrity of the collection.  The shed walls and roofs have been reinforced with metal straps to hold the plastic pieces together, the floor has been nailed to the ground with 10 inch nails.  The seams have been sealed with foam or glue to prevent leakage and stop insects from gaining entry.

Each shed has a wasp trap and flying insect trap to catch flying bugs.

The interior of each box has a moisture absorbing packet to further protect the contents.  Both sheds are right outside my window and I inspect the exterior at least twice a day.  They sit under a porch light.

I needed a few extra screws to finish putting them together and a quick call to Lifetime and a very kind lady sent me 100 metal screws free of charge, despite the sheds being years out of warranty.  Excellent customer service.  I highly recommend their products.  Other than being a customer I don't have any connection with the company.
