To catch up on how we got here, check out Shed Stories Parts 1 – 4 We thought we’d be painting but… we hit a problem. After a heavy rain we’ve discovered some water damage. Ugh! The shed has 4 transoms (I didn’t know that word till now) on the back wall and apparently they are not as water tight as they should be.

Patrick is working on a solution that will drain the water but still looks great.
What if the shed leaks again?
What are we going to do about the front deck area?
When we can paint should we go with our original colors? – N
