You did it right! I sure would't call it a shed. That is a home away from home.
Kudos to both of you for doing such a wonderful job!

Thanks! It's taking longer than we would like, but we're getting there. Rick started fastening bookcases to the wall yesterday. Then our neighbor came in with his backhoe to move dirt around, so he got sidetracked. I'm really hoping to start moving books in this weekend.
Our neighbor said he'd be more than willing to come down and watch a football game with Rick. In the shed.

I think any home project does. Like you said, you're getting there.
Right! Any time DH starts a project we have that discussion. Especially if he's looking at taking time off work to do it!
But it's worth it to get stuff done right the first time. .- Thread Starter Thread Starter

I was working on putting some books in the shed this afternoon. The sheet is over the tv. Not nearly finished, but it's a good start! (Oh, the Heidi book in the last picture was for a personal joke with my brother). The pictures were taken with my cell phone.
Is that a statue of a bird sitting on top of the bookshelf in the last picture?
Which cat is in the photo right below it? Look at that floofy belly. So cute!!

That is Edgar, the black crow perched on top of the bookcase. If you look on the shelf with Pete the parrot, you will see Allan, the black rat. And Poe, the bat, is wrapped up against the window. Edgar, Allan, and Poe were originally in my office one year for Halloween. But after the holiday, I really didn't want to take them down, so they've lived in my office now for about five years. They have a new home in the shed. I'm going to keep them there. Much to the chagrin of my son, I'm sure. He came into my office a few years ago and was appalled to see Edgar, Allan, and Poe. "Mom!" he literally hissed at me, "You have a crow, a rat, and a bat in your office. What the h*** is wrong with you?" Did not go well.The kitty with the foofy belly is Banshee, our rainbow baby and the feline love of my life. I adored my Queen B. She lived to give belly waves.
Pete the metal parrot was given to me by one of my co-workers. He found him at a thrift shop or a yard sale or something. I took him out of Bob's office and brought him home when we did Rick's 60th birthday bash and I placed him on our homemade tiki bar. After the party, I took him back to work. He's been in my office ever since. When I decided to retire, I told Bob that I was taking Pete with me; didn't matter what he said, Pete was coming home. He told me to go ahead and take him, not that it would have mattered. Possession is 9/10 of the law. Pete is mine!

Thanks

. I'm not done with my books.
The tv is working. I had to set it up on my cell phone, which was a little weird as I've never done that before. But it works well. The cable weenie is coming next Monday afternoon to activate the cable on the tv. Rick wants that cable more so than I do.
Once the couch is delivered, then I'm going to do a free trial of Netflix.
The guys did the footers for the deck yesterday.

It looks terrific and very cozy.
Yes, it's lovely, inside and out. Can't wait as well to see the finished product!

The shed deck is finished. It looks really nice, but honestly, I think the deck overpowers the shed. The thing looks massive. I'm hoping that, come spring, when I stain it, maybe it will recede a bit into the shed itself, if that makes any sense.
Cable service will be installed next Monday afternoon.
The sofa sleeper will be delivered next Saturday (not tomorrow). Still looking at the beginning of December for chair delivery
I'll get some pictures
We still haven't designated an actual move-in day.

Have you thought of painting the deck to match the shed? It might blend in more that way. Is it in the front or the back of the shed?

That's what I'm going to do, stain it a grey color to match the shed. It's right in the front. And it feels out-of-place.
It'll look a lot better once it matches. Raw wood gives the whole project an unfinished look and draws the eye to it. I think you'll be happy when it's all stained to match.
I'm glad you're so close to an official move-in!

Matching the shed color was what I was going to suggest too. It'll look different once it's finished off. Are you going to add potted flowers or anything? That would help too.

We went, we saw, we brought home.
There's an unfinished small table with two chairs and an end table in the basement, waiting for my paint/stain brush. Should be interesting.
