What is this outbuilding, anyway? Well, technically, it’s a storage shed. The leaky, termite-infested space which has held Paul’s tools, hockey equipment (just consider, for a moment, the smell on those pads after 5 summers out there), and dreams of woodworking, electronics tinkering, and grilling. In other words, that little space with no heat or A\/C is the room of my husband’s dreams. It’s his Man Palace.<\/p>\n

Behold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cien and Paul continue to replace termite-eaten boards and have come up with an awesome design of the ‘new’ outbuilding (T.he M.an P.alace). The idea is that the center will be open, with windows in the back letting in light, and with the two sides having french doors. In the picture above, you can kind of make out the center opening. Below, you can see where they have framed out the opening for the new window on one of the sides.<\/p>\n

This is the northern side of the building, the one featured in the post below.<\/p>\n

This is a ground view of our yard, leading to the outbuilding. Will we ever be free of debris? In the background sits our Mardi Gras float. The one we build last February out of the wood we use to board up the house during a hurricane. Which was why we didn’t have enough wood to cover all the windows when we left for Gustav. Priorities, people. Can’t say we don’t have a firm grip on what is important.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cat calls are perfectly acceptable while viewing the next few pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is really why we bought a fixer-upper. So I could sit back and watch him walk around with a tool belt, carrying heavy stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As if that weren’t enough, he’s doing it in his geeky computer guy shirt. Did someone turn the heat up in here??<\/p>\n
