Got the assorted stuff off the built in shelves behind the door and started taking them and the short side wall down. Got to the point that I now have to move the pinball machine and to move that I have to move a whole pile of stuff. So I am going to call it a night and start on it again tomorrow morning.

I am now thinking about extending the opening that the big door is in a bit and building a leantoo affair on the front side to house wood, an entry way/mud room and the wood burning heater. A 4 to 5 foot extension with 6 to 7 foot tall back/north wall with a metal roof sloping upward to meet the top of the door and funnel the heat back in. I am thinking of using refrigerator doors inside the top of the extension. that will give me a width to work with and keep the heat from escaping too. Guess I have about everything I need to build it except the cement.

I think I can house somewhere between 15 and 20 thousand books in the front if I build the shelves everywhere. The everywhere includes under the joists too. If I figured correctly I can house close to 2000 there. Guess we'll go and get a couple of bundles of wood tomorrow. And a trailer tag. Or today. And time for bed
