Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I admire your dedication. Storage shed with 5 people is not my idea of fun. I liked a place that was 960 Sq feet... But DH firmly shut that one down. Apparently when you're a big guy a tiny house does not sound fun. Even if it has a fenced in yard.

Get a bigger shed

It works out great, trust me !

Sorry to hear that.
We Americans tend to put ourselves deeply into debt in order to live in bigger houses than we can can afford. We buy more crap to stuff the houses with too. Our house is just about 1200 sq feet, and I've got two big guys living comfortably here with me. I mean big. Chickielady can confirm one of them is not a bantam weight, LOL.OK so it's not a three bedroom... but if you count the garage it could be, LOL.

Neither of us is bantam weight, with Einstein at 6-0, he was a bit taller in his prime.
Still, I have raised my 2 kids in a 16x16 foot cabin, built by hand.



This is my parent's get away cabin in Quilcene, but identical to my own that I built in Northern Idaho.
Worked excellent.
Even at -30 degrees.
If it is not enough room, you have too much stuff.
The 16x16 fits perfect for sheet plywood, and ends up a kitchen , living/dining area, and upstairs is the bedroom for 2-3 and downstairs converts to a bedroom for 3-4.

Kitchen, and you can easily put in a rear propane range/oven...the real refrigerator is to the right, then a bathroom/shower.

Turned around & took this pic of the living area, to the left is a stair/ladder to go up to the loft, and in the far left corner is that bathroom/shower I mentioned, with porta potty.

Watre we brought with us, and the front doot to the far right.


Brand new cedar deck we just installed................

I absolutely love this place !
Behind the cabin is 2 car carport, where the canoe is stored, firewood, and a shed housing paints, stains & lawnmower/tools.

Puppies are born right on time, in the night~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About 6 came sneaking out a few minutes ago, but sure as I picked up the camera all but 2 ran & hid>>>>>>>>>>

Little blue baby...

Black baby, barely see its yellow fanny to the right...more pics later.

Love it. Don't think the hubs will but I'll run it by him anyway!

It all depends on where you live, county, zoning, and how far you have to drive to work.
Out here in Pacific County, life is Bliss !

Going to go to the auction this weekend to see what they have. I am bound and determined to get this hatching thing down.
thank you all again for help with this trial.

Out of 15 eggs 12 have hatched but 2 didn't make it. One I culled (hard to do but it was suffering )and one I'm not sure why it died. It happened while I was at school. There are 3 eggs left one has pipped the other 2 eggs nothing yet.

Wow, I did not realize how many machines are involved in hatchery hatching.
