30 Things That Will Make Your Summer Epic

February 19, 2016 by Jenny 4 Comments

21. Shed Remodel

If your outdoor shed has seen better days (or you haven’t dared to open it in years) give it a face lift. Clean it out and turn it into an outdoor room, perfect for reading or just hanging out!

    Your website isn’t very user friendly if viewing on a phone. All of your ads and the way the info is scrolled down the center made it small, even on my larger Galaxy phone. Even trying to expand the size of the picture was only possible by stretching and it popped back to original size when I removed my fingers, so of course that didn’t really help.

    It looks like you have some interesting info, but I only made it through 4 or 5 frames before I decided it wasn’t worth it. Hope you can figure out how to make more phone friendly.
