All is mundanity!
I spent the day picking up a shed from Menard's. Then I had to make a perfectly level spot to put it in. As the sun was setting I was screwing in the last screws in the floor.
Oh, no! That's just the first step. Now I have to put the shed on top of it.
I got my exercise loading the shed into the truck alone, hauling it from the truck to the back yard alone, loading 30 50# (approx. 44 KG* for my friends overseas) bags of gravel into my truck back at the store - this time I had help (funny, they promised to help with the shed and no one showed up, while for the gravel nobody promised me anything and there they were), and I hauled that from the truck to the back of the back yard. Alone again. (Naturally).
After that it was just nitpicky stuff - fitting the pieces together, and mastering the art of screwing their cheap-@$$ screws in without breaking them. I can't claim to be there yet.
They claim that one man can put up the shed in four hours. They neglected to mention any of what I spent my whole day doing.
My back is killing me.

You CAN buy pre-made sheds you know, LOL!!
Whoops! That should have been 22KG, though 23 is probably a better estimate.
After 24 hours of labor, I've got my shed together. [That'll be the title of my next post, with pictures.] The trouble with a completely finished shed is that there's really no way to get it into my back yard.
