Building Another Boat!

Nate has been ambitious lately--planning out and constructing a boat that he started in the greenhouse--but moved his plans over the the guest house, so it would actually fit!
Here is the boat in a variety of stages...
Sorry, I will have to ask what this type of boat is called.

Sandman Cometh.

2 pics of the cabin floor being restored in Homer. Lots of elbow grease, and I'm glad they wear masks!

Bridge over River Kwai...

One of many wood projects in the yard...Better not slip off the icy wet boards in the winter! Also....Nate displays some silver salmon. Cooked on their Irish wood stove, I'm sure it was delicious.

Reinventing All Around!

The kids have the most awesome in-town place--yet wilderness abounds. Turkey, pheasant in their yard; creeks with several bridges in need of repair; goat pen, chicken house, barn, green house, shed, guest place-- and all filled to the brim with the last owners unwanted items. (See the TRASH page...)
Salvaging building materials, they are hard at work turning a house into a home! I am so impressed! I want to explore too...

Its Two at a Time Fish!

Last week's camping trip: fishing, berry-picking, 4-wheelering, drinking polar beer, visiting with friends and living in a "yurt"!

Gun Stocks

Cool Uncle Darrell (did I spell that right? Daryl? Yikes--brainlapse) gave Brian some coffeebean tree wood so he started some little gunstocks for a pistol. He said it was a very nice working wood--the little wormholes are added character!

Handmade Knife

Bri brought a little handmade kuhnifee back from Georgia--made from steel and parachute cord weaved in and out of holes. When I jokingly said I needed to shave my legs, he told me that it would--and it does. Seems pretty scary to keep knives so sharp; I think I've had to take Teg and Bail both to the hospital for stitches, Brig 3 times or more. It gives me the shivers!
More examples later...
