Create your own custom shed at Gazebo Creations

August 13, 2007 by Tricia

I’m sure even one time visitors to this site can easily figure out that I love plants and perhaps even that I have a garden. Long time readers know just how extensive my garden and my passion for gardening really is since I post about it often enough.

The only major thing that my garden is missing is a storage shed of some kind. We actually have a fairly small backyard and when I planned my garden I did so knowing I’d miss out on storage space. I thought I could live with that decision but 6 years later I really do want a storage area since my gardening tool collection has grown as my garden has matured.

Considering that I don’t have a lot of space for a storage shed I’m quite pleased to say that I found a company that makes Custom Storage Sheds. The company is Gazebo Creations and they are located in Pennsylvania.

Now I haven’t gone looking around at many other sites that sell sheds, but I can say that there is a much wider selection of storage shed types at Gazebo Creations than there are at Home Depot and the beauty of ordering a shed from Gazebo Creations is the fact that you can fully customize your storage shed and have it built to order. I can also say that even once you’ve customized a shed it appears that the price is lower than a comparable shed at Home Depot.

All you need to do is click on the link to create your own shed and follow the step by step directions. The first page lets you decide which size of shed you want. The sizes range from 6 x 6 feet to 12 x 16 feet. Since we don’t have much extra space I clicked on the 6′ x6′ option.

On the next page you’ll be give a choice of siding materials. The choices range from Dura-temp siding, Vinyl siding, Cedar lap siding, cedar tongue and groove and pine tongue and groove. I choose the cedar tongue and groove as I love the look of cedar and I know it holds up fairly well to the elements.

Once you’ve decided what materials will be used to construct the frame and outside of your shed you’ll be taken to a page where you can select additional options such as what type of flooring will be inside the shed, whether your shed will have no windows or more than one window, what type of roof shingles to use and what color of shingles to use, and finally, you’ll be able to select the style of door you’d like to have on your shed and if you’d like an additional door.

There are a number of other additional options to choose from as well such as the addition of window flower boxes, vents, gutters, taller walls, skylights and so on. By requesting any of these extra options you’ll truly be creating a unique shed.

Once you are happy with the shed that you’ve created you can decide whether your shed should be shipped assembled, or pre-assembled. The very bottom of the page shows your selection and updates as you customize your shed with the various options. When you are ready you can request a shipping quote for the shed that you’ve just created.

See isn’t that easy?

There are also a number of shed packages you can choose from. I presume these are popular styles that have been selected time and time again in the past by clients so they’ve made it easy for us to just pick a shed that’s already been fully customized.

I’m going to have to show my husband this site and the shed that I just created with all the options that I added before even thinking about placing an order, but you never know, I may soon have my own gazebocreations.com custom shed.

If you’d like a storage shed why don’t you visit the site and click on the create a custom shed link to see what you can come up with for your yard. If you purchase a shed from Gazebo Creations I’m certain you’ll be pleased with how nice they look.

You can save money at Deal Locker in as little as 6 seconds!

August 11, 2007 by Tricia

Want to know how you can save money in as little as six seconds? Visit Deal Locker. Just visit the site and type an item that you want to purchase into the search box and in seconds you’ll more than likely find a few free online coupons that you can use towards your purchase.

I’m fairly careful with our money. I’m not stingy, but I’ll spend time doing research on any pricey items that we’re thinking of buying and naturally I’m always on the lookout for the best price too.

The Deal Locker is different from other coupon sites that I’ve visited. You can actually sign up, it’s completely free, and add great coupon codes that you’ve found elsewhere in order to share with others.

All coupons listed on the Deal Locker have been rated by site members and they never list coupons that have already expired either so if you find a coupon for a store or a product that you’d like to purchase you’re pretty much guaranteed that the coupon will work for you.

I think that you can find coupons for just about anything that you might be looking for since the Deal Locker lists tens of thousands of coupons for thousands of stores.

As I said at the beginning you can use the search box on the main page to type in the name of a store or an item that you might want to search for coupons for, or you can click on the tabs at the top of the page to search for deals at specific stores or by category.

I’m going to be looking for a macro lens and a telescopic lens for my new SLR camera soon so I decided to take a look at what kind of coupons I might find at the Deal Locker.

I discovered that they have a Camera Coupons section with 24 different coupons listed right now. The coupons are for specific items such as camera batteries and other accessories and there are listing for Best Buy Coupons, Broadway Photo, Camera World and other stores that carry cameras and camera equipment.

I didn’t see any coupons specifically for camera lenses, but I’ll keep an eye on this site now that I know about it just in case some good deals come up. The camera lenses that I want to get are fairly expensive so if I can save some money I’ll be happy!

Visit the Deal Locker and see if they have any coupons that you can use.

My brother the baseball fanatic

August 10, 2007 by Tricia

My brother, the one that lives in the Toronto area, is a huge baseball fan. So much so that one of the first things he suggested for our family reunion that’s coming up at the end of August was that we all go to a baseball game. So yeah, we’re going to see a Blue Jays versus the Red Sox game on August 31st.

I’m not a huge baseball fan myself but I do prefer to watch it live rather than on TV. So our get together at the baseball game should be fun.

Anyway, back to my brother. He’s decided that he’s going to get world series tickets too. Oh did I mention his wife is also a huge baseball fan? Yes, they even went on a trip to Florida about 10 years ago just to visit Spring training camps. So I’m not surprised that they want to finally go and see the World Series.

Have you been to the World Series? If not – would you be interested in seeing a game if you could?

We need to get our renovation projects finished!

August 9, 2007 by Tricia

I keep longing for our home renovation to be finished. Yes we’re still working on our living room. Chris is hoping that we might be able to talk his brother into helping up put the tin ceiling up while he’s visiting. That’s be cool if we could get him to help but when the two of them are together it’s usually just one big party so who knows if it will happen or not.

Once we’re done the living room we have the basement, the upstairs bathroom and the kitchen to refinish. I hope that we can get them all done over the next two years or so. The house will look magnificent once it’s all done.

I have it almost all planned in my head. Each room will have style but will be extremely functional.

I think the kitchen reno is what I’m most looking forward to though. I don’t like our current cupboards or counter top and I want to move where both the fridge and stove are located. My idea kitchen would have granite countertops, hardwood cupboards, a hardwood floor and one of those nice storage cabinets on wheels that I could move to the center of the kitchen when I’m busy preparing a meal and cooking to make it just a little easier.

Our bathroom might be a big reno job. We have the worlds smallest bathroom right now. What I’d like to do is move the bathroom into the tiny spare bedroom that’s currently beside the upstairs bathroom. If we moved the location of the bathroom we’d have a decent sized washroom that we could have a bath and shower in and make very luxurious if we wanted.

What room of your house would you like to renovate and what would it look like when you’re done?

I can’t believe I got such a great camera

August 9, 2007 by Tricia

I’m so happy with my new camera! I think I’ve had the camera for about a month now and every time I take a photo with it I’m just amazed at how well they turn out. My other camera took great photos but it didn’t do so well with low light or night time conditions. My new SLR doesn’t seem to have a problem with low light – well provided that I make sure it’s at the correct settings.

I’m didn’t even read any digital camera articles before I bought my camera. Oh, I’d done some research on and off over the past year, but just prior to purchasing my camera I didn’t read any write ups about them. I just went to a few stores and tried the camera’s out. I checked all the settings and got a good feel for how each camera felt in my hands and ended up getting the Canon EOS 30D SLR Digital camera.

I’ve still got a lot to learn about my new camera and I definitely want to buy a macro and a telephoto lens for it, but I’m happy to putter with the accessories that the camera came with for now.

Do you love your camera?
