The She Shed is done! It was such a treat to get to design and build this mega shed with Heather over the last few months. I had an awesome architect, engineer, and knowledgeable subs who all played their roles well and patiently. It’s such a treat to work with the creative, powerful, and complex mind of Heather, who now has her dream space for gardening, and producing food on what will probably be an industrial level.
This was much more than a job, and I’m thankful for the growing opportunities it allowed me. We lost an incredibly important person and member of the family just as we paused the project for the winter. There’s really no words for it but my first official project as a GC completely flipped some of the ways I look at life. If processed, difficult events create lessons. It’s still hard to process, but I’m forever changed to be more empathetic and considerate of the people who surround me, and this loss will never, ever be easy to think about.
The human connections I make while building things with and for people are why I do what I do.
