I know we haven't posted for a while, but we were swamped with the preparation and aftermath of Junkstock. Junkstock is a great bi-annual event where "junk-o-philes" get together to sell cool vintage stuff at an old dairy farm on the outskirts of Omaha. There's plenty of music, food, a petting zoo for the kids, and tons of cool vintage stuff. The event was expecting 15,000 people to attend. It was a lot of work, but it's a great place to meet cool people, sell some stuff, and have a great time.
Since the epic storm of the June event, I decided to overcompensate and build a little structure this time around. We already had plenty of lumber, old doors (thanks Brad!) and several windows (thanks David!) so how hard could it be?
What the h*** was I thinking? The posts alone took all day in 90 degree heat. But with the help of my father-in-law
Cal, friends
Elizabeth and
Nathan, (not to mention my husband) we got it done.
And if I don't mind saying, it turned out pretty awesome!

Every window and door was measured and charted on graph paper. Needless to say, a lot of drinking and cursing was involved.

The best part of Junkstock was spending time with my main man Nicholas. Here he is at the petting zoo.

Thanks Sara and Junkstock crew for all your hard work. It was a great affair. (The American Pickers guy did not participate in our garden shed event but we're sure he'd approve.)
