My Mom's Storage Shed
My Mom told us to clean out the storage shed in her backyard, so we went down to her house. We noticed the shed was in bad condition, the roof caved in and when Tom carefully walked inside the shed, we found out there was a lot of trash and a very many items inside. It took me and Tom several days to dispose of all the trash. We filled up the back of our truck with the trash from the shed. Also Tom noticed that the top of the fence around the shed was worn out, so we went to Home Depot to buy two pieces 2x4 redwood planks costing $7.95 a plank and one bag of concrete mix which cost $2.89. After we bought the planks we went back to my mom's house. When we removed the old wood from the fence, we found out the side door was in bad shape as well. So Tom removed the door and tried to fix it. We found out we needed some more wood to fix the door, so Tom looked around the garden to salvage some wood, and he found some to repair the door. Unfortunately, when we were half done, Tom's power drill ran out of power, so we had to stop. Tom decided to fortify the fence poles in the ground, so he poured concrete mix into the ground under the poles, which took 24 hours to dry. Before it dried, Tom make sure the poles were the same height. After that, we had dinner at around 9:30 P.M, then we left the house at 10. We went dispose the trash, and then after than we went back to our house. We only were able to finish 1/3 of our job and come back to finish it someday.
