It Has Arrived

It's here!  The barn-shed-cabin or whatever I am going to call it, is here.  The delivery driver made it up the road without a problem and was already backed in and ready to unload when I drove up.


It was a long and careful process of unloading and leveling but the driver was very good at his job.


 All set up.  Now, so much to do!  Tie-downs, skirting, steps will be the top 3 on my to-do list.  Oh, and gutters.  I hope gutters aren't too hard.


It was toasty warm in the loft.  Not much head room.  If I had ordered this shed custom, I would have had the loft floors lowered.


The to-do list for the interior is too long to list.  Insulation, electricity, plumbing, drywall...


Between the mobile home and the barn-shed will be my snake-free area (I hope).  I need some ground cover delivered, maybe mulch or bark and rock for where we park the cars.

It's all coming together!

    Lizzie, I don't plan to sleep up there anyway. The dogs can't climb the ladder and I couldn't sleep with them whimpering down below.

    Thanks, 444. It is cute. I hate to mess it up with all of my amateur building skills.

    Welcome, Kim! I'm afraid it will take me a while to put things together. I wish I could take a couple months off work like other people did.

    Welcome, Lisa! The building was $8,000 and I expect another $8,000 for basic insulation, electric, plumbing, fixtures and appliances. I could easily spend another $10k on upgrades, covered porches, etc... but that will have to wait until later.

    Thanks, Beth! I hope I get enough done before school starts in July so that we are comfortable. It is fun to see it finally happening.
