the worker

I know I keep saying I love my cabin. There are so many aspects of it I love. My exceptional workers - are actually brothers. Both did the remodel of my cabin - which is just absolutely wonderful and now they are doing the shed. I am starting to be able to get another word out of my mouth for the shed - but not totally- so we will just leave it at that. The s...shed.

It was a dilapidated old thing. Not one piece of wood was solid top to bottom. Not one piece was plum top to bottom left to right. The roof was questionably flat. We could really just say the shed was questionable. The first $500 man came in an put an angle about the size of a fist on my already questionable shed roof and called it done. He also used Old freezer panels to cover the dirt of the floor and also covered the freezer panels with thin plywood. Done.

We had vodka on the discovery of the floor day. Now we have concrete pads, a peaked ceiling and roof with a true pitch (yes I can sing) and now we are into the really fun stuff. The character stuff.

The outside will be fashioned with ruffled tin that rusts. It has a barrier that keeps it from rusting all the way through. It will have beautiful new windows (unfortunately the character windows were just too horrid) that will let in both light and air. The chicken coop is surrounded by 30'-50's screen doors. Victorian or just cool. They are the walls for the coop. And then the door is this huge thing that has aged. The frame is wood from the inside of the shed that has also aged to a wonderful reddish brown patina. The color of - well I don't know but I love it. The exposed wood will then be wrapped with barn wood. It also has a front porch. I had found this wonderful old wire swing that will hang on which to sit and sip a great glass of wine.

So some day when this is finished, and I can afford a glass of wine, you will fine me sitting outside, looking at the mountains, talking to my buddies and Olive, loving life!

In two more weeks.....
