Been the summer of the roof
I
Hate
Building
Roofs (rooves?)
Needful things they are
Nothing redeemable though
No beauty
Ugly can happen, however, and rather easily
The aged RV was first
Didn’t care to erect a garage
Not worth the investment
Designed a light web like structure (engineering marvel) of 2x2s to just rest on the beast
Laid metal on that
Plan on nylon rope to hold down what could become a metal sail if the perfect storm happens
Will install soffits in a bit
Heh, the thing now looks like it’s wearing some sorta party hat
for it’s last hurrah
I hope a tree falls on it so I can look caringly at my woman and helplessly shrug, then hold her in my arms, patting (hiding an evil grin)
Moved on to the well house
I contended with a short hut like structure for two winters
Built it in a rush tween building the second (main) cabin
Of which was a real rush to have a place to live
This winter I will;
stroll inside
switch propane tanks
fire up the genny
draw water
all while standing fully erect (much like modern man)
I’ve come to the conclusion our sea container is gonna be a long living unsightly fixture in my forest haven, so decided to use it for wunna the walls
Anyway, I’m not thrilled with it
But not entirely unhappy, either
Gonna use cedar fencing for board and bat siding
In a nutshell, this aged critter has toiled most the summer with regard to winter, and with dogged determination to completely rid any forest feng shui I’ve been able to retain up to this point
Next
A ‘thing’ that will keep snow off the truck while mothballed for winter
Maybe a crude A frame ‘roof’ (there’s that word again)
Maybe a hoop affair
Whatever it is, it’s not gonna cost much and will be easily torn down come spring
Tired
Quite tired
And sore
Next summer, a roof for the container
Keep a fire
