John has been working from home on and off the last two weeks. Might seem unusual being he is a carpenter with his own General Contracting business. Usually he has to go to someone’s home to do the work.
But now and then he gets a job where he can do the “prep” work at home. Our driveway right now is full of lumber which is starting to take shape into walls and a roof.
It brings back fond memories of when he was building my “she shed” which is better known as my zen writing cottage, back in 2007. Hmm, looking at this picture, I see I still have the same SUV, but he has gotten two vans and sold the truck since then. I say that in jest as I don’t mind. But I digress.
Seems this “she shed” craze has taken off as you may know from following my blog and all the press I’ve gotten about mine. Word is spreading around our area and John is currently building this garden shed for a customer. Isn’t it so quaint and lovely? And check out the July/August 2003 date on the magazine — this lady has been waiting a long time for her dream space!
After this is complete John will be building a 12 x 17 She Shed nearby for someone else. I think he’d be quite happy building these sweet spaces, rather like doll houses for grown up women, on a regular basis. But then I may never get my driveway or the half of my garage back to park in!
At any rate, I love having him around the house. And Kylie is his helping buddy. Well, err, I see not. She seems to be sleeping on the job. But one can’t help but feel comforted when working hard and a dog snoozing nearby by wouldn’t you say?
