Getting ready for the coming snow season, we asked our son Ben to build us a shed to house our fancy, commercial-sized snowblower. We bought it after the mammoth snowfalls of December ’08, only to keep it in the garage and try to squeeze around it to get into the car. (It didn’t snow much after December.) Our reasoning was that avoiding one trip to the hospital emergency room, with back muscles tweaked by snow shoveling, would pay for the new purchase. But we needed a better place to store it.
Ben showed up this summer and built something far beyond the garden “shed” we had envisioned. We’re calling it the “winter temple.” Here are some pics of it, plus a few of Ben helping nephew Cadan put together a wooden airplane.
