If I had a hammer...

The craft shed is on it's way to being, well, a craft shed, but it's taking a while (as could only be expected!). The window is in, more lumber was added for nailers (to attach the sheeting to), and the wiring is almost done... Drilling holes through lots and lots of studs with a really long paddle bit is a PITA! Especially through the studs around the window, since we added an extra trim stud on either side to help support the weight of the roof more. But the good news is, the roof won't collapse. ;) What's next is to finish the wiring (the romex is mostly run, except through a few studs I couldn't do myself, then I just need to install the plug boxes), then insulate it (not looking forward to that... Boatbuilding school left me incredibly sensitive to fiberglass), and then sheet it (I'm using CDX plywood, a lower grade plywood that I think is 3/8" thick, I wanted 1/4" ply with one nicer side, but they only had three sheets, and I needed 14...). After sheeting, I'll do a spackle number on the seams and any holes in the plywood where knots were in the wood, then paint the walls (yellow! YAY!), and voila, she'll be ready for furnishings! (still not sure what the plan will be for the floor, it's uneven since the building isn't totally leveled, so I can't do anything rigid. We have some leftover carpet from when we carpeted Wyatt's room, but not enough to do the whole floor, plus I'd rather it be sweepable. For now I probably won't do much of anything to it.) As far as that goes, I have a sewing table/chest which opens out to hold up a drop leaf to make it longer, (closed it looks like a nice bureau) so that will go in there. Eventually, we will be removing the desk and cabinets that are in our mudroom/office/laundryroom, and building a pantry/coat closet in their place, so that desk and cabinets will go into the shed. Until then, I have a 4' plastic folding table that will do quite nicely. Since it may not be entirely critterproof, I'll keep all my fabric and other vulnerable materials in rubbermaid containers, so they'll be stacked up in a corner (I thought of building shelves, but it'd be that much more materials, and the boxes stack nicely anyways). I'm so excited for it, I'm hoping we'll get a chance to work on it more soon, but at this point I need help (never insulated before so not sure exactly what to do), and our weekends have been and will be pretty busy for a bit. We shall see! It's fun though, and exciting, and I can't wait to have dedicated space to spread out all my stuff and get down to business!!! :-D
