Holey shed. Rats.

[Tikihut27]

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%.









Rats.

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.

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

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.

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.

[Mugen910]

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

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


Sorry about your shed

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.

Sorry about your shed

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

Just get some caulk fix it right up

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

So sad.

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

And there it is... the silver lining.

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

Nice french doors!
