Well by Popular Demand Here is the build thread on the shack build

The Shack started as a Sewing/Art shack, then turned in to storage shed.

we don't see eye to eye. So used 500 (650 with Ac) in my saving and built
my own place

12feet X 8 Feet

2 Windows

Drywall, and insulated (R-13)

Wiring Romex Yellow 12/2 Type MN-B

Cable - Verizon

Hard Wire Internet - Cat 6

AC - Kenmore ,5,200 BTU Model 70051

Dark Cherry wood stain

Bed over desk

Got a living, dinning, office, breakfast nook , bedroom all in one space

How did your grandparents take it when you told them you would rather live in a garden shed than live in a full size house with them?

Serious Shack Foo.

Cool.

A tree house
"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln
