I needed some extra sleeping space for Christmas. So I built the sheepdog shelter in the basement. It holds a queen sized inflatable matress. Great for inlaws, kids, hiker trash and other vermin. I will customize it with a few signs, and maybe some food bag hangers complete with tuna cans.

Fine wiring job. Nice touch with the woodpecker.

I am guessing you will trim out the plywood to prevent splinters.

Looks like an elegant kid cave.

I had to move the plug and will reroute the wiring. I lightly sanded the RB&B to remove splinters. I am still thinking about weather to stain it or leave it natural.

nice, from what i understand alot of males majored in foozball during college along with many other things besides schooling. by the way your sheepshed looks wonderfull. i also like the pineboard look you put up on the existing walls of the basement. i built a deck along side my camper and went with the pineboard look as a finishing touch..

Some sort of matte sealant would really make that rb&b pop. Even a swipe of Minwax stain, no poly on top. I have used Polyshades once, it is easy, but not the same results.

Foozball interferes with proper drinking rhythm. Priorities.

An old blue tarp rolled up to hang as a curtain. You maybe could make that column a bear pole.

That foozball table might a little close to the fire ring.

Good idea. I was maybe thinking of painting the pole to look like a tree trunk and putting a white blaze on it.
Wargy, the door goes to the pit of despair!!!

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Yeh could be better spent on beer and ......... and besides it's a shelter:rolleyes:

All the walls in my house are T-111 lightly sanded. Pictures to follow. Looks great or so I've been told ;)

See above. Still looks and feels like wood if left raw.

No stain, nothing!! Light sanding to knock off the burrs. Don't tell anybody but I used 3/4 T&G (sub-flooring) for my floor. Real woodsy/mt. house like. :rolleyes:

Did I get in the wrong thread when I wasn't looking?:eek:
