SHED OFFICE AND LIBRARY NORTHWEST MEX

Most of this year I've been working on having more space to put the things I love and need. My house is a small elderly log cabin with little storage and although I love books, I found that I had very little room for anything else. So this year I bought a 12X16 storage barnfrom Better-Built Barns of Bremerton, who came to my house and for $4400 put up the shell of a barn for me. A friend sheetrocked and insulated it and did some rudimentary wiring so I could have lights and run the computer. So now the bulk of my library, a comfy reading corner, a place to listen to my old LPs without cats jumping on the turntable, and a little office nook to hook up my laptop have freed up some space in the house, though not as much as I'd hoped.
