THE JUNK SHED!
Now, what is a junk shed? It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship made out of completely used materials. In other words...it was all free! It's the ultimate junking project! Using junk to store junk...it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Here's is what was used...
- existing unused dog kennel next to our garage for the structure
- used galvanized tin panels lying in a field next to an old barn for the siding and roof
- used galvanized pipe from the "cart corrals" you would find in a shopping center parking lot for the trusses
- screws we already owned to attach the panels
- tube of silicone we already owned to fill the screw holes
Here's the before...
Here's the fine junkyard welding craftsmanship on the trusses...
Here's the incredible Junk Shed crafted by hubs...
I think my husband is the ultimate junker! Don't you agree? Thanks, honey!!!
P.S. The neighbor asked when we were going to paint it. Hubs told him "We did! We just put clear coat on it!" (We really didn't, but the neighbor's reaction was priceless! We're still laughing over it!) Hubs and I agree that it is gorgeous in all it rusty patina. I wouldn't change a thing!
Now, down the road, we are considering building a permanent workshop to which all the junk would go. Then the junk shed might be converted to a sauna. Come on workshop!

What a great hubby. He knows what a junking girl wants.

Great job, and all for free. Funny what you did to the neighbor. I love it rusty too, but my DH would paint it. Now show us the inside :)

Oh what I wouldn't give to get my hands on some of those galvanized RUSTY panels! The new ones at the big box stores just don't have that wonderful patina. I've been wanting to put up a wainscot of panels in my laundry room...guess I'll have to use the new stuff! Love the junk shed...everyone should have one. ~judi ;) (the1829farmhouse.blogspot.com)
