Thanks for the compliments. I didn't expect that kind of response. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Although, without the 2 car garage in the front of the house, I'd never have enough room to hold all my stuff. At one time I had three 2nd Gens fully disassembled during that process. It was a good thing I was already divorced at that point. ;-) Eventually, I went from having the most redneck house on the street to having one of the nicer ones. Now I'm down to 2 2nd Gens but working on them one at a time now.

One day when I grow up, I'll build a BIG shop. First I need to start buying those lottery tickets....

The most unexpected thing that I learned from that particular project was that because I had such a small space to put the shed, the pool and landscaping it made it very intimate after the denser landscaping went in. Having a lot of vegetation within such a short distance of the pool and having it filled it with lots of plants make that place very peaceful. A lot of my buddies have big back yards with pools and they don't feel nearly as nice. That smaller space secluded by the plants feels very tranquil. I ended up putting in a huge plate glass window in my den to look through the sunroom out to the pool area because I all of the sudden had a nice view.

If I ever do get a big back yard, I'll section it off into rooms using plants sort of the way this ended up.
