This is the juicy stuff! I've had a great deal of fun, latenight time building interior spaces, trimming windows, plumbing my sinks, doing simple rustic carpentry, generally being creative and dreaming about sleeping, reading, lounging, eating, watching movies, meditating in my home, my primal shell without the dust, drafts (cold!) frozen pipes, and constant "do!do!do!" of the building flow. Moving into an unfinished building is a well-tread path toward incompletion ('proper finishing' the Buddha suggested) Yet, I have moved in, and will finish!!!!!!
my homemade back door. Salvage flooring, barnwood, cedar trim, heavy brass handles and lock plus OSB, screws and wood glue. That door is heavy! and thicker than the average: I had to rout the openings for handle hardware many times before the spindles would reach eachother! The exterior face is completely different, oak flooring and yellow pine, sorry no pic!
A roundwood locust walkway up the hill to the back door, a railing will be there soon. Hard to see the ext. window trim, but it's round, too! split 3" poplar shoots from the woods.
Kitchen floor, bathroom floor (sideways, cock your head 90 degrees) clawfoot bathtub and homemade sink stand of mahogany slab and locust, black haw, grapvine and honeysuckle rounds. The cabinets are barnwood pine and oak (beautiful!) maple flooring from an old gym and a locust countertop all painted with Tung oil.
