Mennen Shed Like New After Repairs

After the raccoons and mice had been evicted and several days of hard work, including one 10-hour day, the shed at Mennen has been refurbished!

Work included replacement of two sides, patching to part of the roof, new shingles, and repairs to the doors plus been completely repainted. All the equipment inside has been cleaned and disinfected so safe for use although unfortunately some pieces did have to be trashed due to the mice using them for nesting.

Huge thank you to Dave & Diane Ramage, Karl Matthews, Ary Sirin and Jenn Honig for all your help!

On a side note the trailer at Denville has also been cleaned and disinfected after someone left the door open! The mice have been removed and the find of a shed snakeskin was a bit concerning. Please ensure both the shed and trailer doors are closed properly after use.
