forest clearing: tiny house yard

To the East of the house is a beautiful view out at the rolling property, lowland, and in the distance Lookout mountain. Thanks to a few days of hard work, some spilled blood ( see chain saw accident) and the dedication of my wife we now have a clean "yard". The hammock fits wonderfully bestrewn the tall trees with no scrub scratching below. We can throw the ball down the hill and let Wrangler chase it with out fear of brambles consuming her. It is a glorious thing to have a well managed forest floor.

tiny house ward work: bridge


This is just a sort of fun little experiment. I am working to build a bridge out of scrape lumber from the mill. It will go from the patio area ( yet to be built) to the area we plan to build a small greenhouse. The bridge spans a drainage swale. I may even try to create a little pond under it as there is often flowing water through the swale.
