Update on The Grateful Shed

I haven't been very good about posting updates here. I find it hilarious that certain people thought I was going to write a blog. Not so much.

Here are a few photos from the last few weeks of The Grateful Shed. We could also call it "The House That Ron Built". (With a lot of help, of course.) He's been there every day for ten months except for maybe three or four days. He missed one day for a boat trip in December and a few days packing Christmas/Holiday mail orders.

There aren't many photos of the interior because most of the tile floors are still covered with blue tarps to protect them from plaster and paint and sawdust and such. We are sick of looking at them and cannot bear to immortalize them in photos. We will post photos of the inside when those things are gone.

He did write a blog. Have you read it yet? There are some recent posts there also, doncha know! Fun stuff.

Crappy iPhone photo, but still very exciting for us.

Now we're selecting furniture. That's harder than I thought it would be.

See you on St. John!

That's one helluva shed Ruth!!!! It's really looking great!!! Love the tile and stone work! When Ron gets finished maybe he should take a nice vacation to somewhere tropical...

Bravo!!!

Love seeing all the photos... so much fun to see this house becoming your reality. Ron has done a masterful job with the building, and I know that you have had your hands on more than plants. So happy for you both!

Looking great, Ruth and Ron! What I wanna know is: Is the $400.00 a month Grateful Head finally gone from the Grateful Shed?

Looks fantastic! I remember the shots of dirt being moved around- feels like yesterday (although probably not to you guys)!

I love it! The stone work is so beautiful! I couldn't build a house there without stone work! I hope I get a chance to tour it next May... if it's not rented!
