Dwellito Mini Office
I built a small (8x10) shed in our backyard from scratch, mostly as a stress reliever from actual work.  I realize the irony in doing more work to relax from work ... but carpentry is so tangent to computer work that it felt like an escape.  A sort of real world Stardew Valley.<p>In terms of material cost it was maybe $2k at the end, but could have been cheaper (I splurged on slightly nicer versions of some things like plywood instead of OSB).<p>If you're even slightly handy it's a nice project to undertake.  All the work is light enough on a shed that size that you can one man all of it.<p>It's hard to describe the primal feeling I get when I'm inside this shelter I built with my own hands.  For all the back breaking work of it and all of its mistakes the feeling of satisfaction is immense.<p>Photo (was still working on the doors when this pic was taken): <a href="https://i.imgur.com/FogNzBP.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/FogNzBP.jpg</a><p>Ever since the shelter in place order went up I've been out there working on little woodworking projects.  Recently finished two small tables for around the house (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/ea67ANO.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/ea67ANO.jpg</a>) and a few misc house improvements.
