Hello All, We headed up Saturday morning with the intention of doing nothing but installing our new Hobbit SE wood stove, now nicknamed ‘Frodo’. Our first stop early Saturday morning was hitting the HD store in Kingman, where our Duravent ‘through-wall’ chimney kit, and chimney section awaited us. We were there early, and picked up…

Siding is on!!! (11/14/2015)
Guess what we have now? That is right…SIDING! No more house wrap flapping in the wind. This is huge for us, and we couldn’t have gotten it done without our friend John coming into town to lend a hand. He really is the ‘ladder king’. Thank you John!!! We arrived on Saturday to nice bright…
Entry Light & Inside Framing (11/8/2015)
Sheralee and I headed up early early Saturday morning to the property. We knew there had been snow earlier in the week, but pretty much all gone, except some white in the shadows of trees. Very cool, but kinda chilly during the day.. Our first goal was to finish our entry way lighting. We came…
Utility Shed Build 2 & Deck Extension (10/2/15)
Well, it has been two weeks since my last update. We have been to the property, and very busy, but upon leaving the prior weekend, I forgot to capture our progress, so I decided to skip a week. We are back on track now, blog wise. After returning last night, it is time to get…
Utility Shed Build 1 (9/18/15)

Our water tank is probably at 1,000 gallons just waiting for me to get the power/pumping working! Can’t wait. So, in…
Loft Build Step 8 Move In (9/11/15)
After dealing with our rain issues from last weekend, it was time to move in to our new loft. First things first were for Sheralee to put down our flooring. Originally, I had thought we would have nice carpet for our place of sleep. Well, a smarter head prevailed and it is wiser to put down…
Loft Build Step 5 (8/21/15)
Some very exciting news from the ranch this week. I had my good friend John come down for a three day weekend of building, and we were able to accomplish so much. Things that we accomplished this past weekend I couldn’t have done alone in one weekend. Unfortunately for John, his co-worker this weekend has Acrophobia,…
New Ranch Member (October 31, 2014)
“Here comes Rusty…”. Yes, we purchased a 20 foot shipping container. We had been tossing around the idea for some time, but once we saw this one local to our property, we knew it was the right choice. It has been somewhat modified (see the small windows and roof support) for another customer, but that…
