fortunately, it's going DOWN! and it has potential. i've emptied its contents, burned all the cardboard stashed inside, will make a few trips to goodwill to drop off an old office chair and garden hose caddy and call the scrap metal guy to pick up the old gas grill and various other metal things. also, the roof is aluminum, so he'll take that as well. so we're left with that fabulous fiberglass wall material. i've gotten about 1/4th of the way through taking the bolts out..eventually they'll fall down and then kenny will dismantle the wooden frame.

then we have a garage to paint (white) and a side door to paint (dark red, to match the newly painted front door of the house).  we have an old wooden workbench in the barn that we'll move over to the side wall and i'll gather all my terracotta pots during the fall and store them there along with all my other gardening equipment.

we will then have an outdoor gardening/potting station. that will eventually look like this:

this is my inspiration right now. the look will change, and i'll hopefully be able to add a path with perennials in years to come...fortunately, we already own a few of these old tools as they were left in our barn and garage when we bought this house. 

i promise to update with pictures once we're in the outdoor potting-area business...
