This Grandma’s Friends Laughed At Her Idea. But What She Did In Her Shed Is Awesome.

Not many people understood why Monica Smith began working on her 8×10 shed in the back yard… and then they laughed when they realized she was turning it into a tiny cabin. It seemed strange that she was putting so much effort into just a shed. But it wasn’t just a hobby. Her youngest daughter and 5 children lost their home. So, Monica decided to give them her own and move out to the back yard.

This may be the coolest grandmother ever.

DON'T give her true name or address!! In many jurisdictions (Maryland, for one) this would be illegal and the storm troopers would be breaking down her door.

12:03 is spot on. There are zoning issues, and environmental issues, building code, electrical and possible FEMA issues. Just to name a few. Good luck Grandma.

Now that is love. BUT... 12:03 is right...they would make here clear out in Maryland especially if septic is involved. BUT... having said all that... this is what family is all about. God love them all.

The permit and inspection fees in Maryland alone are enough to bankrupt the average person. So many code violations in this little shed it would get her jail time here as well!

It's nice to see a little old lady care so much about her family she is willing to go to these extremes for them. You Go Grandma!
