This morning, I got out to work on the office. So I decided to tighten it up. Afterall, whether plaster or stucco, it needs to be secured to the bales and the frame of the building...
sooo with my trusted tools - a heavy duty staple gun, and a hammer, I climbed all over the building securing that wire mesh down,... It's ready for a hurricane!
I admit, I'm exhausted, and had a bad case of the poor-little-old-me's, working by myself. But I realize that once I get it done, I can plaster, and once I can plaster, I can take down the tarps, and really start using the space!! (She says optimistically)

See the windows up top are the all of the loft!
See the windows up top are the all of the loft!And while my office looks like a cave at the moment, I was able to work out there in 95 degree heat (@ 36 Celsius). My poplar tree, that I didn't want to cut down last year is very happy and providing great shade and beautiful color over the office deck.
It is a work in progress. . .
And though it feels like it beats me sometime...
I love it.

I think this is so awesome. I will be watching for progress. I have always been a "Make Something From Nothing" kind of gal myself. Way to go!!!
Hi Kitty!!
Many thanks!! Progress is my middle name. Well, not really, but I do want to be able to start using my office soon, and that is inspiration enough! Thanks for reading and comments always welcome!
I started reading The Shedworker blog a few days ago and am just transfixed with all the neat sheds. I found the link to your blog there and love what you are doing. Keep on keeping on. :)
Hi Mary -- Off topic, but thanks for adding the "What's It All About" section. It will really help new readers.
Best Regards.....Bill Kratz
Hi Amberstar!
MANY THANKS!! I agree SHEDWORKING ROCKS!! Alex is my own personal hero!!
Thanks for the encouragement too! I'll take all I can get, and knowing "someone is watching" makes it that much more fun!
Stay tuned!
Dear Bill,
Wow!! Thank you for checking back in! I think you raise a good point about blogs being a bit difficult to navigate, so suggestions on anything I can do to help are welcome!
You aren't a university professor by any chance are you? :-)

Hi Mary --
"You aren't a university professor by any chance are you? :-)" Well, only in my dreams. Actually, I was educated as an architect though I never practiced. I've been kicking around the design/construction/alternative energy industries for most of my working life. I'm poking around these shed-related blogs and sites right now, because I'm considering launching an outbuilding venture with a little different approach.
Best Regards.....Bill
Hi Bill!
That sounds like a great idea!! A year ago I was looking for something exactly like that - an environmentally friendly outbuilding that could be seriously shed worthy for shed working!
Couldn't find it, so I decided to build my own and here I am...
GO FOR IT!! and keep us posted!!
:-)
Mary
