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.

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.

Nice shed!!!:-)

Bad branch!!!:-)

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.

wow sweet shed...damn tree though
[Reply]

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

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


Sorry about your shed :-)
[Reply]

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.

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:-)
[Reply]

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

:-)
[Reply]

So sad. :-)
[Reply]

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

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

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

Nice french doors!
[Reply]

Has an even bigger downspout in the corner now :-)
[Reply]

That blows.
