2 weekends
7 pallets of cedar shingles
8 pounds of nails
20 ft of wire
2 outdoor electrical outlets
1 workbench
Lots of bloody fingers...

And I have it. A shed to be proud of.

Thanks Mum and Dad for your help!

I think this may have been the most manly thing I have ever done.

After advice from my Pop to buy an electric lawn mower over a push one, I managed to find one for $25 on craigslist. I was so excited to use it when I got home that I pulled it straight out of the car and started mowing. That will probably be the high point of my lawn mowing life...

We also anchored out for a couple nights, visiting this neat little bay that reminded me of the Marquesas, at least up until the water taxis arrived... We did a short walk through the town and up to a waterfall. It was a nice refreshing dip on a pretty hot day.

Not a bad place to spend it

Kerry and I went down to Puerto Vallarta to rest and relax with my parents down on their boat Cedar Spirit. I can't begin to tell you how much I needed a vacation and boy was it nice to flick the off switch for a week. We spent a good portion of the trip on the beach just enjoying the warmth and doing some boogie boarding. We also ate out a lot eating some of the best fajitas I've ever had.
