Holey shed. Rats.
 

I built a shed. A nice shed. My neighbors all asked when the cable would be installed. Here's my shed:

Nice, huh? Does YOUR shed have french doors?

Anyway, don't brag about your shed. I learned that karma will get you if you do this.

The shed is 12'x12'. This means the square footage is about 3% of my yard. So what would the chance be that less than a year after I finish (still have some detail left to do, even), the wind would rip a 25' branch off my tree and deposit it, spear-like, through the roof of my shed? Apparently 100%.

Ouch man. So sorry, but can't help to chuckle some.

Able to repair yourself?

EDIT: chuckling from the way you worded above; I do hate that that happened. I understand how much a pain in the a$$ it is to have that happen. Hope nothing personal/irreplaceable was damaged.

Hopefully everyone is ok. Fixing a roof sucks. I hope everything else is ok.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

That sucks. With that kind of luck you should go out and get a lottery ticket.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

Sorry to hear of the misfortune. Look at it as an excuse to really do up the place. Hopefully it is not a costly fix.

Nice shed!!!:)

Bad branch!!!:mad:

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

I always build with screws, not nails, so tear-out and rebuild should be pretty easy. I patched it up a little with Tyvek and will fix when the snow melts. Fortunately, I kept all the leftover flashing, shingles, etc. and will only need a sheet of plywood to repair.

And the branch missed everything stored in the shed (including the glass-fronted shelving), so I guess I'm not all that bad off.

But still.

Sorry man, that sucks. Good Luck with the rebuild.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

wow sweet shed...damn tree though

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

WTF...dude...sorry so see that happen to your Man-Den.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

Anyone else just a little intrigued at the physics that took place to spear that branch horizontal like that :r


Sorry about your shed :(

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

WOW! That sucks. That is some crazy wind!! With that kind of wind I wouldn't let my kid play outside, she'd blow away.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

I'm more interested in why the downspout comes down in the center of the siding and not at the corner:hm

Just get some caulk fix it right up:D

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

The bright side? You now have the opportunity and a pre-fabricated hole to install a smoke exhaust for your new man cave!

:dance:

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

So sad. :sad

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

Hate to see that my friend, but at least no one was hurt.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

And there it is... the silver lining. :)

Sorry about the mishap. Glad to hear all the delicates survived.

Nice french doors!

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

Has an even bigger downspout in the corner now :r

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

That blows.

Re: Holey shed. Rats.
 

I'll come over and help ya rebuild it if we can smoke in there......... :)
