At last! A big stinkin’ pile ‘o lumber has arrived and the house build can finally start. 11 pallets worth with a very skilled driver.
After jøügè-ing the wood to get it stacked and ready to go, the first wall goes up. This will be my first shop with windows and natural light.
Rear wall has to be beefy to support the span, so they’ve switched to 2×6. The square mini-pad on the right is where an outdoor sink and laundry is going to go. I may have to build myself a laundry chute!
I’ve started collecting succulents to propagate and grow in creative containers.
Squeezing in some battery organization when I have a spare moment. I can’t wait for my shop to be done so I can unearth and organize my tools!
There was considerable leftover wood from the dismantling of the concrete forms. My eyes like to think of it as ‘free’ lumber.
Mini deck to make a flat working surface. Also…. really hard for the weeds to grow there.
With the left over wood I started building crazy mismatched planter boxes that are marching up the hill next to the wood chip path. I have to work around some Very Large chunks of inconvenient lava. I’m envisioning a Santorini-like hillside, all higgledy piggledy.
