The Plan

Clicking here or on the link above will take you to the Country Plans site where you'll see an idea of what type of place I'll be building. The major changes from what this shows to what I'm planning are the south-facing wall (the one on the bottom in the layout or on the left in the drawing) will have several sliding glass door windows and the overhang from the roof will also be longer for shading.

Besides, I'll also tweak the living space a bit (putting the stove in the upper, right-hand corner, for example).

At 24'x14' interior, it's plenty. The porch will add living space, as does the loft for sleeping and/or storage.  Presently, I'm in a 30'x15' place, and it's fine for us.

Now, imagine it having the rock look of the garden shed in the photo above! See? Nice, eh? That's what I'm going for here!

Again, it's all I and my inter-species life partner, Bucky, need.

Less is more, right?

There--It's Settled

After spending the day last Saturday with my sister and brother in law, we've arrived at a conclusion.

We know where their house will be. We know where the garden shed will be. We know where the garden will be. We are pretty sure where the chickens will be.

Now we know where I will be.

The weekend of March 7th, I will begin clearing the land for the build. Then, I must trip back to Mississippi to get the rest of my tools and the materials from my storage shed and find a shed nearby to the building site.
