Our version of retirement: Living a childhood dream

On my TV now, is some guy building a log cabin alone at someplace that looks like where your cabin is. Snow, pine trees, wilderness, etc.

Nice!

Yeah those skinny lodge pole pines give away his elevation
Gotta be about a mile up or more

Good to see a modern-day Harvey Penick

A cabin romance gets my blood runnin'

Meanwhile;

Built my lady another chunk of furniture
A TV stand/DVD storage cab thing

I don't care to hang large TVs on old walls......so;

I'm very happy with the black hardware;

Heh, not live edge, but staying with a cabin motif that seems to fit the humble abode of ours

Next, a wardrobe


However, sometime this summer or fall, after painting this place and planting fruit trees, and....and.....and....gonna snag another parcel of land

I've got cabin (building) fever
 

@Gary O' Hope all is well with you.

All is well, ol' cool dude

I've got too many projects going, and no end in sight.

Also, I was getting too enmeshed in the bloodletting of hearts here.
So, I'm taking a que from some fine folks and butting out.

Finished the armoire

Oh, and yesterday I took some scraps and threw together an actual pine box for my son's girlfriend's best friend (got hit by a truck)

Notice I stapled on some rope handles

We may be selected as pall bearers, so planning on a trip to the cabin

Thanks for asking, Jim

Love ya, man
 
My son, the grands, and his new lady came over today for lunch
My lady usually skips breakfast (my main meal) and tells me to wait, shaking a huge spoon in my face, when she's fixing a big meal

Meanwhile, gave my son's lady the framed pic of Ruger

She's a pretty tough gal
Very comely, but tougher'n chikin lips
It really busted her up

Ended up, everbody blubbering

I wanted to feel good about the gift
But
Thanks to me, it took awhile to be settled down to fried chikin and tater salad

Oh, and Ruger will be put in the ground tomorrow

Anyway, the baked beans were spectacular

Thank you, charry, very much

It's getting to be a rather fun project
I shopped around for live edge stuff out there
Lotsa tables and mantles
But couldn't find anything quite like mine

I may hook up with a high end outlet in Bend
Put some pieces on their display floors
Lotsa yuppies up there with lodges and rustic homes

Just don't wanna take any more orders from direct customers
Too much risk in disappointing someone
It gets tricky that way
