Progress on library

Getting Settled

Back in September I mentioned that I was working on a couple of outbuildings that will house much of my library. I’ve been progressing on this pretty steadily, and now I’ve moved in my desk and am starting to move in books.

I still have to frame the window, install a threshold, put up the siding, etc. But the building is functional and watertight.

I am envious! This looks like a warm and inviting space with lots of room for books but beware! They breed when you aren’t looking. You think that you have plenty of room but one day, you won’t be able to get in the door.

Hah, I agree with Nancy… one day you are going to post the building of a second library.

The flickr pictures are great, can’t wait to see final product!

Good luck!

It’s a dream come true to have a lovely library to curl up in and read.
