Martin - congrats on getting your house built! My war cry lately has been "TMP!" (too many projects). Feel free to use it if you like.

I really am looking forward to getting the shack sorted out. But I'm a slow worker, so who knows how long it'll take. I put in an hour or so every day or two - just came down from the roof with my tar bucket.

Good idea - come for a visit and you can be my negotiator!

Believe it or not, earlier this summer one of my neighbours actually offered to help me repaint (part of) it - the part she can see from her back porch.
