Stressed about the week Things will be happening at a rapid pace this week and I’m stressed out about it. Follow along and see how the week progresses and whether or not I survive it! Monday – Tongue in groove pine floors, insulation and shiplap boards for the walls and ceiling are being delivered. Tuesday – Steel floor joists are being installed in the afternoon and then I have to get the foam core insulation in before dark. Wednesday –…
Love these windows A few years back I purchased a pair of old farmhouse windows. My original plan was to hang them in the bedroom as a headboard. When I decided to build a she shed, I thought they would make a perfect front window. I got an extremely late start this spring in stripping a hundred years of paint off of them.
