Yes, the dogs are cute, but don't let that distract you from the horror of the background. Yes, sadly, that is my backyard. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the full glory of the outbuilding. It has peeling paint, a sagging door, and a staircase that is a true wonder of ingenuity! If anyone tells you that is necessary for there to be 4 posts at equal heights on the ground to support such a structure - don't believe them. It is actually possible to have a working staircase with one of the 4" x 4" posts just screwed to the outside of the building a full foot off of the ground! Getting a new roof on this old lovely today, courtesy of man with the most awesome Hispanic name ever: Jose de la Luz!(Jose of the Light). Money pit surprise of the day: oh yes the roof still had all of the original shake shingles on it that will have to be pried off one by one, and now partial new decking will not be an option. I LOVE to spend money on something so visibly exciting as a roof! Signing off to roll pennies......
