Leonard Nimoy, Mr. Spock: a great man who was, yes, the heart of Star Trek but was also a humanitarian with a great sense of humor. The ST movie he directed (with whales) is the one that best stands the test of time. So sad that he's left us.

General update
I've contracted with a guy to pour a slab for my building to rest on. Now I have to file an amended permit. And, of course, he has to wait for the snow etc to quit and the ground to dry out and the low temps to come up some before he can pour. Then there'll be the electric and the insulating. So it looks like it may be May or so before I can start using the shed.
That means I can't sell the RV at the proper time (March-April) to catch buyers who want to start out in Spring. Ah well.
I'm so looking forward to being able to stretch my arms above my head.
I'm getting a 14x20 side-loft barn style building. Now, that 14ft is eave to eave (6" ea) so it's really 13x20 with 2x4s, so now it's really really 12'4" x 19'4" inside, which is still considerably bigger than the 8x12 I've been living in for seven years.
The peaked-roof shed has a loft on each end, about 6'2" from the floor, so easy to walk under, and about 6ft long, so about 7ft of open space in the middle. I plan to sleep in one loft and use the other for storage. Under one loft will be my office / working area, and under the other will be a cook/eat area. I'm not having a "kitchen," just a Breville Smart Oven, a hotplate, and an elec. kettle. There'll be a sink with a drain to outside (it's just gray water and not much of it). Across the long wall from the door will be shelving/closet/etc, probably closed off with a curtain run on a cable w/turnbuckle. Am thinking about closing the walls off with beadboard paneling
These are the plans so far. We'll see how long they stand up to reality.
