FIFY.

It's just like a normal 'phone. Follow the lead, you can just make out the top of the handset on the side facing away from the camera.

Ima Dumas. I see now. I thought the cord from receiver to handset was a rope for carrying it.:lol2

Also, looks (from this stolen Flickr pic) like the bells are turned upside down, that threw me, too.

My mind gets a grip on things like this and won't let go sometimes. Thanks for straightening me out.

The bells are inverted to function as ash trays.

Shed construction begins tomorrow. Pictures will be taken this time.

Stay tuned!

BrianR · 08-24-2011, 06:01 PM

I do NOT believe this! It hasn't rained in months. So I get to laying the foundation and it bloody well RAINS!

Now it's too hot and humid to work. Oh well, tomorrow's another day!

Here's a pic of what I did a few days ago...the rock is almost big as a golf ball.

What a python, what an anaconda, what an --- inchworm?

classicman · 08-27-2011, 03:45 PM

Thats not a rock, that's a meteorite.

footfootfoot · 08-27-2011, 03:53 PM

That's not a python anaconda inchworm, that's an Alien tentacle!

Wait, what are we watching here, Star Wars, or Japanese porn?

I'm calling the shed project complete. I am far too tired to post pictures tonight.

I'll try tomorrow after running errands.

As I promised, here is a photo diary of my shed build project. It took three days of hot, sweaty toil but it's done!

This first photo shows the beginning. Boxes of parts staged at the site.
link

The second photo shows the frame of the foundation built and levelled.
link

The third photo shows the foundation completed with my friend Anne driving in the last screws (yes, I used the proper deck screws for PT lumber).
link

Photo four shows the floor of the shed laid out and assembled and connected. Thus ended Day One of the project.
link

Day Two began bright and early to beat some of the brutal Texas heat.

Photo five shows the walls in place. The directions made it look SO easy! Just insert tab A into Slot B and snap into place. HAH!
link

Photo six shows the major roof panels in place. This ended Day Two.
link

Day Three opened early also. By noon the temperatures are above 100 degrees, requiring frequent cool off breaks and about three liters of ice water each day.

Photo seven shows the more of the roof and the doors installed.
link

Photo eight shows the end product after the last roof parts, skylights and smaller things like shutters in place. The shed has been shimmed to allow the doors to open and latch closed again, the windows to open and all the roof vents and screens installed.
link

I wish I could get the images to appear in the post like everyone else gets but I don't think I'm doing something right. All I get are tags.

Apologies to everyone for all the clicking.

Next time we order something like this, I will refuse to assemble it until the spring or fall.
