Terry's brother, Phil, came in February to help wire the shed, insulate it and put up wall board and the ceiling. Together they had all that work done in 2 days. I had to beg them to take some rest breaks. Without Phil's help, it would have taken Terry and I weeks of labor!
I am very fortunate to have 2 'master quilter's' as neighbor's and they both introduced me to wall mounted design boards and suggested that I include one in my sewing corner. So our first project was to cover an insulation board with quilt batting to make a sticky wall. It took 2 days to get the glued on batting off my fingers, but the board is a treasure in the quilt design process.
Terry surprised me with a trip to the storage unit that resulted in a little sitting area with my rocker, some Laurinburg farm and cabin furniture and a small electric ' wood fire-look' heater. It brought tears to my eyes to see our new little comfy, homestyle corner.
Last but not least, Terry set up his solar powered Ham Radio Station. He designed and built a collapsible table, a battery and controls shelf unit, and re-purposed a portable electronics case with his radios and tuner. It is now the small, efficient space he had always dreamed of for a station and it is totally solar powered. His 2 antennas are set up at the back of the shed.
We are so fortunate to have this additional space to use now that we will be at home here for an unknown time. We are still scheduled to work at Silver Falls State Park near Salem, Oregon for July 1- October 31. At this time all Oregon State Parks are closed. We don't know if we will be leaving here in June or not.
Through this time of uncertainty, we are holding on --- with daily walks in our beautiful neighborhood below the mountains, cooking lots of healthy food and taking time to appreciate all the 'simple' pleasures of life. Hold on and stay healthy!
I am sorry that I wasn't able to get any pictures to load with repeated tries and 2 different sources. So for the 'readers' here is a catch up.
