The hut, the hut!

This is “the hut.” It’s a one story with short attic, built entirely by Chris and the kids. Some of it is finished, and the rest of it is, as you can see, still waiting on siding. However, today it received a major upgrade. The window is in! As you can see, the front window is now in place, allowing light to come in. Of course, now I have to make curtains for it, so people can’t see in, but whatever. It works. LOL…

This is Chris’s wood workshop. All his woodworking tools will be in here eventually. Quite a few are there already. Now that it’s in place, he’ll be able to get his woodworking done in a better way, and have GOOD storage for all his tools. On top of everything else, this has a really good roof, and is incredibly sturdy (and new of course, relatively speaking). It’s a good place to store stuff.

This is the same hut where our xmas decorations are stored, and where my historical stuff will go in the off season. The loft is high enough on one side that I can almost stand (at 5’1″, it’s a low bar…. a really, really low bar LOL) upright. With the winch setup, it’s easy to get things up and down. I can lift the xmas tree and heavy boxes without having to scale a sketchy ladder on my own, hoping I don’t trip or drop something expensive.

I think it looks pretty spiffy. It seemed to go in quickly, too, as Chris and son went to work on it and it appeared to take less than an hour. I’m impressed. And did I mention there’s room for all the woodworking stuff now? Yay!
