Locker Room Find

One day, my wife and I came across a free gym locker. We decided to use it as a garden toolshed. After using paint that we had on hand, I went to the local lumberyard and asked for used wood or defective pieces of lumber to use for the base and roof framing. I purchased wooden shakes for the roof, but the ornamental top was made of old lamp parts. It is very handy in the yard and adds interest to our landscaping. —Jeffrey Horton, Effort, Pennsylvania
