Thanks so much for your comments. Hauling all the dirt, boulders, pavers, and pea gravel sure gave us sore backs for a few weeks. But looking back, it is well worth the effort!!

My concept of the vinyl shed was not to puncture it with staple or nail holes, so I went out looking for some adhesive that would bond wood to vinyl. After a few attempts, we thought we found a good one, but after a few nights of warm and cool temperatures, the blocks didn't stick. I found that hot glue seemed to work the best... better than any of the polyurethane products the home improvement stores carried. With the blocks attached, I simply stapled the thatch on the roof, lauhana on the upper sides around the windows, and reed fencing to anchor the sides and front. I am not sure how this will all hold out over the winter months, but it really didn't take too much time at all.

Here are 2 additional pictures with the bamboo trim attached to cover the seams. I drilled holes in the bamboo, and attached them to the blocks using paneling nails.
