Another Leg of our Journey; Life in Town...in a rented Bungalow

[Gary O']

So, I'm bangin' out these teeny tiny avian abodes








All the while, there's a niggling, constant gnawing to build another cabin

Much like these whimsical structures



I may grab another chunk of land....and build

Then sell

...and, if successful, do it again....and again

Got a text from my longtime friend in SE Alaska

They'd 'gone north' up the Yukon river, of which is considerable north since their place is 12 mi south of Klawock on Prince of Wales Island

They dug out a mammoth tusk from the bank

Bastard sent me a pic

 

[Meanderer]

Tusk, tusk.....

[Gary O']

Your post reminded me of this old routine about farming.

Question: How long ya gonna keep farmin'?

Reply: Until the money runs out!

Good luck and more importantly have fun!

That thing is worth some money..

(inspiring, truly inspiring)

 

[Gary O']

That thing is worth some money

I'd think so

...wonder if they'll find the matching one, too

Yeah, my first thought was maybe it's not 'theirs' to have

I'm gonna flick him some shit about it

That is the perfect house. Put it on the east side of a hill and make the front wall 3ft thick and you'll never have to worry about heat or AC.

Would be kind of gloomy, though, except in the early morning hours when the sunlight floods the interior.

Maybe a few skylights would help?
But no....overhead lighting is so unflattering !

Busy day

Making an offer on a house

Pretty much hate this process

Ahh! Maybe the new place will offer you some projects to do.

Good luck either way.

 

[Liberty]

Good luck @Gary O'

Boy do we know what you mean. Projects are hub and I's middle name. Today, bringing plants in for the cold nip we're having tonight and covering up the ones outside like the bananas and ginger...probably uncover them after this very unusual "dip in the jet stream" moves on. Time to go out to dinner at our fav Italian eatery.

Good luck on your impending purchase. Can't wait to see the pics!

 

[Meanderer]

Now you know how the birds feel!

 

[Gary O']

Oh, there'll be projects

There's two garages (built in the '30s)
One is listing a few degrees
Fun job
Heavy cable
anchors
come a longs
Tie downs
Bracing
Stud work
I've only done that sorta work a couple times
It's never a sure thing, as inch by inch stuff happens

 

[Pepper]

Is the new place close to town?

 

[Catlady]

@Gary O' - So, you've given up being Nature Boy? No more semi-hermit cabin? I'm sure if your son has the cabin now he'll let you visit or ''babysit'' it when he's out of town.

 

[Gary O']

Is the new place close to town?

It's about 4 miles from town
