That's a shed in the same sense that Elizabeth and Phillip have a summer cottage.

NICE!

NICE. A little Christmas present for yourself.

Are you going to install a hoist/trolley set-up with I-beams?

Nice Andreas. I am going to come for a visit! That is going to be so nice. I predict in 5 years you are saying you built it too small.

Very Nice Andreas, are you planning to heat all or some of the building? steve

I want that!!

Done on 27 Dec 2011. At least all the contractor's stuff is completed. I have TONS of things to do over the next many months.

And it is already to small. I knew that going in. It is the biggest footprint I can build per local zoning regulations. I will not be able to fit all my boats into it.

Everyone is welcome to come for a visit. 20.2 miles due west of downtown Minneapolis.

Got bottom buttoned up on three sides on Saturday. Will wait till frost is out of the ground to do the north side.

Great project Andreas

But what is all that white stuff? None of that in Southern New Hampshire yet.

And did I miss your answer about heat? Humidity?

Happy New Year

Little bit of snow here. Last year at this time we were burried.

A portion of the length will eventually be partitioned off, wired, insulated, sheathed and heated.

Not sure yet of the heat source. A wood stove for certain but I must have supplemental heat.

The "finishing" is a long way off. I am broke. I will be able to purchase a couple of boards each pay period. So this could take years to complete!

Sweet Andreas! Just be sure you have plenty of running water to control humidity! I need to come see your shop soon!

Nice, you must have some tall trees. Work has started on my building project, can't wait to have her up.
