Sheryl, Victor and even Zach, the insurance agent-- I have memorized the entire commercial. And today I am visiting Jeff, my insurance agent, to see about insuring my she-shed. Before Christmas I decided to buy the lot next door to me. There was a rumor around town that someone was looking to buy it for keeping goats. I hate goats. (Attention Goat Lovers--any argument you make in favor of goats will not sway me.) (or Geese, either, for that matter.)
I live in the last house in town. After my house it is pure prairie until Highway 50, about 3 miles away. In fact I live on Prairie Street. The lot is big and empty, to the south of my house, on a corner with two sand roads, three broken down elm trees, 2 clothesline poles but no clothesline, and a boarded up shed. Now the shed is red brick. It has a tight roof and is of a good size. The lot has connections for water, electricity and gas. I have been thinking she shed from the first.
I considered putting this in the Gardeners of AW thread but really this is about a project more than about a garden. I am old. No doubt about it but as I talk to my friends, it seems to me that those of us with projects are happier than those without. Not less frustrated by any means, but spiritually happier. So this thread is not intended to be about gardening, although god knows I cannot stay off flowers for long, but about projects. How they came about, the challenges, the steps, the outcomes.
Anyway, I am hoping to share projects. And, no, I am not wanting a sheshier she shed. I am thinking more functional although there is room for a sofa and chandelier.
