Out Buildings


It has always been my thesis that one cannot have too many out buildings. They keep the house tidy, while being a haven for things that a dedicated pack-rat simply cannot throw out. We are now the proud posessors of 1 finished shed, two enormous wood sheds and the foundation for what we are calling a 'shack'. The shack will be all weather with the possiblity of heat and electricity depending on a variety of factors including the zoning, building code and easement owner (our local utility company).
This state of affiars is a vast improvement over the former site of trench warfare that was what the backyard looked like. It was a lesson to us all, do not allow a boy in the backyard with a digging machine. The idea of digging holes overwhelms whatever good sense said boy may posesses and the concept that you need to put the detritious dug from the hole somewhere never occurs.

  1. Great work in the back yard. This shed, therefore, is not the once and future summer home for he who constructs. I thought the work was done with sensitivity and care for what else is going on in that part of the yard. I don't quite get the location of the wood storage in relation to the basement door and winter's exigencies; but you will know that better.
