SATURDAY
Saturday morning started with a platform & quickly shaped into this.
Our little design team.
At the end of Saturday Dean had done all this. Not bad for a days work, right?
SUNDAY
Sunday Dean worked super hard to make the dormer and finish up the rest of the framing on the shed/studio/playhouse.
Zoe was so pleased with herself for climbing up and down the "limer" which really means "ladder"

Love this.
The end of the day & the weekend. I am amazed the Dean built this much of the structure in just two days. He's going to work on it again next weekend. The girls can hardly stand it. They are so excited about having a new playhouse. I'm so excited to have a space to call my very own. It will start out mainly as storage for all of my supplies and fabric, but it will also serve as a starter studio too. I can hardly wait either. The second floor will have a small porch with a ladder going up, a climbing rope, & a slide for coming down. A tire swing off to the side will add some more fun for the girls. Deans also building a deck with some Trex decking supplies that he salvaged from a job a few years back. The customer didn't want it anymore, it was just too nice to take to the dump. Another really amazing thing is Dean was able to purchase all of the cedar for $50! He got it from a lumber yard up at Lake Tahoe. All the guys there know him, and the other day when he went to get some supplies for a deck job he's working on they were discussing how said lumber needed to be thrown out! Thrown out! All because it had been in the yard too long. Dean offered them $50 and they sold it to him. It saved us a little over a thousand dollars. That's how much it would have cost if he had to buy it retail. What a blessing huh? When all is said and done this shed will have cost us just a fraction of what it normally would. We are tickled pink. Plus I feel so good about reusing supplies that would have gone to the dump otherwise. Can't wait to share the progress with you guys.

That's so cool! I think it was Virgina Wolff who said every woman needs a space of her own.
That is absolutely the coolest news!! What a guy you've got there :-) I always joke that John built me a studio so he could control the remote at night...that's cool by me! ;-)
