Why didn't we think of this in the first place??

The shed is 4 years old this summer...why, exactly, didn't we think to have a light put in on THAT side, too, when we had it built?  Joseph's been making do with the light from my desk lamp on the other side of the shed all this time, and when we leave at night, after dark, we stumble over chairs and such to get to the door.  Turning on a light right BY the door is so much handier!

This is really a porch light that our good friend Ron Davenport installed for us today, and we love it!  Thanks, Ron...

And finally, baseboard heat...

After my poor Lasko (the tower heater behind Ron, here) couldn't raise the overnight heat above 32 degrees and water froze in the cats' bowl, I'd had it.  Baseboard heat it is.  Here's old friend Ron Davenport checking directions...

Putting the breaker box back...

And of COURSE I was sketching madly all the time he worked!

I don't leave the faux woodstove on overnight--too much traffic in our alley and it looks too real--I thought someone might call the fire department!  You can see how much more room there is and how unobtrusive the baseboard heater is. 

I added notes and called it done!

 And what's really nice is that the baseboard heat doesn't even come on in the daytime when I'm out there (I use the cute "woodstove" heater, what can I say?!).  It's set on very low at night and still brought the temp up to almost 60 last night--it was 9 degrees outside!

I believe we have finally solved the heat issue.
