About two years ago I started stockpiling home despot gift cards. I knew I was going to start doing a ton of home improvements. If I'm there picking up something for 10 bucks, I'll also pick up a 15 gift card. Not the most sound thing, but it's easier for me to open a drawer of gc's and say ok now it's time to tackle x, then it is to say I wish I had an extra 5 hundo to do this or that.
So yesterday we went looking for sheds. I said i can't see spending 7-8 hundred for a generic shed when i can build one cheaper. On the way home I tell the old lady to look on the net and pick a style.
Well this is what she came back with. WTF!!!

A shed I can do, this is more like a summer home and definetly exceeds the gc's I have laying around. Once again I hate how her dad and brother can build anything, and if I come up short I catch hell. I still catch hell from him for having someone poor a concrete slab in my backyard last year.
Wish me luck on this one.

edit: Bah you already fixed it! Now my snarky comment has no context!
Thats a sweet looking shed.

Regardless of your handyman skills, here was the real mistake. ;D
I think thats a poolhouse, its not even a shed. It will need a much bigger door.

it is a poolhouse. I pointed that out to her and she said she just likes how the outside looks. I figured I would need double doors and get rid of the skylight. I'm trying to sketch out a diagram and figure out what this is going to cost me, and it's funny that I'm building a temple to house my beat-up lawnmower and snowblower.
