I'm thinking about doing the same basic thing. Building an 8x10 or 10x12 shed in the backyard and build it as if it were a small cabin - as a dry run/ practice exercise before building a 20x34 in a few years!

If I could get one of these close to my garden with the artwork i might stand a chance of not having the rabbits and ground hogs eat all of my veggies !!
