In case you were wondering...

This blog exists to encourage all those who have ever wanted--and needed!--a tiny getaway close to home. A workshop, playhouse, garden shed, sanctuary, mini-greenhouse, studio, home office; whatever it is you need, it IS doable, with some sacrifice, imagination, and compromise.

It helps if you're handy, too.

Break-ins--human and otherwise!

 
You may have seen this one...raccoons and opossums KEEP reaching under the edge of the shed's storage door to help themselves to bird seed...

Joseph solved THAT problem by getting large buckets for the seed...the bag of peanuts sits inside, too...

Unfortunately, humans tried to get in the main shed as well...marks of a crowbar....

They tried the door to the storage shed, too, and DID succeed in getting it open...

Imagine their disappointment when they found there was just bird seed and plant food, plus a cheap folding chair. So we put an alarm on the door!

The only problem is that it's sensitive to vibration...and Hobbes thinks the door is to play with!

We have to be careful when we get in to get bird seed--the alarm is, well, ALARMING--but it seems to get the job done. 

Sheesh...and of course the shed itself has an alarm system.  Too bad to need it, but it is what it is...
