This weekend we accomplished our goal of cleaning out the shed. In many ways this chore was disconnected from the future purpose of the shed, which is to be a tiny house. Yet, the work was a very important prerequisite. Moving objects about, throwing away trash, boxing up various items, sweeping the floor. The monotony gave us a chance to reflect on how well the shed has served its purpose over the past decade as a shed. And, how the space will be magically transformed. We discovered five gallons of local walnuts which had been drying out for months. The half a dozen bottles of gin, which I admit to having horded there. Some building materials that we can use when construction begins. The tiny house project will provide an opportunity for my children to learn about tools too. Lesson number one revolved around a five-pound hammer and a crowbar. Both were essential in taking down old shelves and removing nails. We called this weekend the destruction phase.
