We’ve been going around the house considering buying a shed and considering buying a dog run. I worked in the yard for two weekends getting the yard ready, and I tried to call a landscaper. I posted about how he wasn’t getting back to me, and guess what? He never did. Forget it. I have another guy coming to work next weekend, and when we woke up this morning I dragged my girls out to the store. There’s a place called Tuff Shed up along the highway where people alway drive by, so we tried them. They’re not open on Sundays! Why wouldn’t you be open on Sundays? I mean working people buy sheds, and they work during the weeks. Who knows…

A friend of mine bought one of these Tuff Sheds a few weeks ago, and said they sell them at Home Depot, so after grabbing some lunch we drove to the local Home Depot. We typically hate that store and buy everything at Lowe’s, but Lowe’s only has these Rubbermaid sheds. When we got to Home Depot we saw they had several Tuff Shed sheds, in which we climbed, measured, played, talked. We finally decided on a relatively stanard 8′X12′ with two skylights. We went inside to pay and that took forever, but we were pretty happy.

Next we wanted to check out the fencing to make a dog run. I really wanted a metal fencing like they put around pools, rather some rickety wood picket fence, but it’s so damn expensive. It’s usually about $80 per panel for the metal fencing, but I dragged Donna and Claire back to look at it again. We found some guy to help us in lumber, and when we told him what we wanted he said "well, why don’t you just buy our clearance fencing?" We kind of shrugged and said something about not wanting old scratched and bent fencing. He told us it was just discontinued and they were s$150.00 if we bought it now, which we proceeded to do immediately.

We’re pretty damn excited to get the dog run installed, and to get our shed installed!!!
