FUNGUS AMUNG US!

Our 8' x 10' plastic storage building developed a severe case of floor rot, complete with mushrooms up to 10" across. We put off fixing this problem until the fall when the weather wasn't so hot and we weren't so beat up for all our other projects to rehab the house. Luckily this building is modular. so we were able to disassemble it quickly.

Rotted MDO floor

Mark & Jack taking down the roof in a large piece. We ripped up the floor and also the subfloor. Here Mr. A is spending some quality time re-leveling the whole damned frame...we splurged and treated ourselves to a real level from Harbor Freight.

Wall is behind Jack...they used duct tape to keep the plastic panels in one big piece. Here he is putting on the NEW plywood floor. It took 2-1/2 sheets of plywood which we sealed with good old Thompson's Water Seal.

Putting it all back together...ooh good, the doors will fit again! How lucky is that!

Yeah, for the first time ever, I have an indoor potting area. I'll be able to store all my stuff and pot up in style in the spring. Thanks, men!
