[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 959710, member: 17953"] Bill's shed sounds better than a few places I've stayed in over the years. Especially when I was a kid. We had this old Boy Scout cabin back in the woods that was nothing more than a log building with a leaky roof, loft sleeping areas, and a dirt floor. The wind would scream through the cracks between the logs, and it could get pretty cold. We'd make mud, and fill the cracks every time we got there, to cut back on the breeze. In the middle of this room, we had a pot-belly stove, and the chimney was a stove pipe running straight up through the roof. When we stoked it up, it was reasonably warm in the lofts, so you could sleep. Of course, to sleep up there, you first had to make sure there were no pine snakes lurking in the rafters. They liked to snuggle, from what I heard. We'd actually cook food on that stove too. A big pot of whatever we had, thrown together. Maybe a partridge, squirrel, or anything we'd been able to trap through our Scout training. Usually it was something we brought from home. Our trapping skills weren't too good. We'd only stay out there for four days at a time since there was no water nearby, and at the end of four days, everyone was beginning to smell a little rank. To go anywhere, we had to walk over a mile and a half through the woods, to the nearest access road. I think I was there about 7 or 8 times. I can't recall. But I do know it left a lasting memory of what it was like. I'm calling dibs on renting the sofa in front of the television in the house. You guys can fight over the shed. [/QUOTE]
