  1. My heart is skipping for the family that may live here…is this occupied? And the chairs, you know that’s hope right there. Where there are two chairs, two have gathered together as a team. And as a team and with God, just about anything can happen! Greatttt photo! Happy WW

  10. Nice shot! I see a house where 2 people who enjoy each other’s company live. Ok, it’s not a mansion but I’ve seen a lot worse. Where there’s love there’s hope.

    Happy WW!

  11. Man, kinda makes me thankful for all I have (and maybe a little guilty and wasteful, too). Thanks for stopping by today!

  15. A very brief look into the varied and often wide places on the planet. This shot is delightful in so many ways, how the chairs are sitting waiting to be used, and how the ‘cottage’ in the background whilst simple in construction, is fine as a house for someone.

    Great shot, I like it…

  16. Home sweet home!

  17. I’d love to know the story.

    Comment by Lynne | August 1, 2007

  18. Ironically it looks like it’s going uphill…maybe symbolizes hope and things will get better if you keep with it or something. Def. 1,000 words for this pic! Very nice! :)

  19. Looks like the moose equivalent of homebuilding. Hey looks like they have a great looking garden out front to.

  20. Not really my taste for a dream home !

    Comment by Gattina | August 1, 2007

  21. Are you going to tell us the story because the suspense is killing me?

    Comment by Hopeful Spirit | August 1, 2007

  22. Yea… what is the story….

    There is beauty all around … When there is love at home!!

  23. I’d love to hear the story behind the pic…seems like a hide-away to me…just for two people ….

  24. That’s a shed that was in my backyard. I took this picture right after my husband took the corpse-blue colored corrugated steel off of the structure. It was really ugly before :)

    My husband and I rented a dumpster and took the thing apart piece by piece. We’re still burning the scrap wood. And we sit in those two chairs while watching it burn some evenings.

    This thing was massive. It had three rooms, furniture and we even collected a box-o-kittens for the local animal rescue shelter.

    Now there’s a nice, flat piece of land and a garden in the area.

    Lots of work taking this monster down but I get a thrill every time I look at the trees that were blocked by the structure.

    I’m fascinated by the responses to this! I love that you are all such deep thinkers :)

  25. It’s amazing to read how everyone’s mind worked. Looks like something my Dad would build ;)

    Comment by Chris@bookarama | August 1, 2007

  26. I saw a lot of those with people actually living in them when I was growing up in western PA. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  27. It looks like it’s cooler outside than in.

    I had relatives that lived in shacks like this.

    No joke. It was sad.

  28. There must be a story behind this photo?

  30. I thought maybe it was a little roughing it get-away!

    Comment by TeaMouse | August 1, 2007

  31. I love this story. Yes, life looks hard, but hard can be wonderful too.

    Comment by Nancy Liedel | August 1, 2007

  32. Great picture and what a great way to document your hard work! Wish I’d have been smart enough to do it when I was remodeling my house.

    I’m glad you’re enjoying the fruits of your labor.

    And thanks for stopping by my place.

  34. great shady place to enjoy those hot afternoons.

    Comment by mousey | August 1, 2007

  35. I hope no one lives here. Yikes. It’s a great shot and it sure leaves you with more questions and answers. Have a great WW. :)

    Comment by Comedy Plus | August 1, 2007

  36. Happy WW! Hope no one lives there.

    Comment by homemom3 | August 1, 2007

  37. It’s a great shot! I do hope that no one lives there. To me, it sort of looks like an old outbuilding.

    Happy WW!

    Comment by Kellie | August 1, 2007

  38. My heart hurts at the fact that someone probably does live there. And, if not there- I’m sure somewhere else in our world, people live in places like that.

    Comment by Melanie | August 1, 2007

  39. Its a good shot…sad that thats someones home, though blessed that they have a home with a roof.

    Comment by Flutterby | August 1, 2007

  40. Cool shot, love that you and hubby sit and watch it as it goes away piece by piece. Symbolic isn’t it?

    Happy Wednesday!

  41. My husband loves “buildings” like this…he insists they house great treasures.

    Comment by Denise in PA | August 1, 2007

  42. Thank you so much for stopping by! I’ve got my fingers crossed for an awesome sale week :D

    Comment by Flutterby | August 1, 2007

  43. I think everyone thought is was someone’s house because we are conditioned to believe the worst.

  45. Rose,
    I was a little surprised because I see a shed. A very, very unhealthy shed.
