I worked all morning and then sent the client what I had for review (non-transcription project). I vegged out for a couple of hours since I had nothing else to do until the comments came in and I was bone tired. It was not nice out anyway. I did go out around 1:00 to see if I had mail (no).<\/p>\n

Mid-afternoon, it was getting very warm in the RV since I have the dehumidifier running to dry out the under sink area and I was getting antsy, so I decided to go do some work on the sheds.<\/p>\n

I started by demolishing the grain chute in the cabin<\/a>, something I wish I had done last year, since it was very messy! I was surprised by how much bigger the cabin felt after!<\/p>\n

After that, I just focused on that half of the cabin, moving things to the shed and garbage pile as needed. I set up a pallet in the corner and stacked storage bins on it, then set up the table between the pallet and the washing machine.<\/p>\n

The storage needs for the shed are becoming clear as I start to move ‘stuff’ into it.<\/p>\n

The big stuff that has to go in and out needs to be parked at the front by the door, not at the back like this. I need overhead storage for wood.<\/p>\n

I really need a proper workbench and, in fact, I found a design for something that I can easily and cheaply build myself. It will go in the corner where the wood is right now. The wall where I set up the board and sawhorses will have a window, so I’m thinking low shelves on the bottom for storing bits and bobs or even a low dresser or cabinet. I’ll keep my eye open at the thrift stores.<\/p>\n

Garden tools can fill the north wall (where the wheelbarrow is presently) with hooks or some other system to hang them.<\/p>\n

As for the cabin, the east side is a complete disaster, but I’ve carved out a really nice little laundry area on the west side. I haven’t decided yet where I’m putting the dryer, probably on the east side since I don’t use it much.<\/p>\n

I screwed a couple of wine crates to the studs for instant storage.<\/p>\n

A bucket under the sink will catch water until I find a hose that I could run outside.<\/p>\n

I intend for the cabin to be an extension of my home until it is converted into a home. So I want to use it for domestic stuff only, not dirty things. I would really like to get some exercise equipment, especially a treadmill and a bench press, in it. It also needs a light source, but the shed light fixture wouldn’t be enough for this space<\/p>\n

While I didn’t care much for living in RV parks, I did miss having other spaces I could retreat to, be they a laundry room, a gym, or a place to spread out a craft project. That’s what I’m getting here at Haven. Some people will scratch their heads and wonder why I don’t get a big house instead. I dunno. I just like this better. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
