We've built many imaginative projects through the years including a couple of outhouses. They were features of adventure golfs and were popular too. Two of the project currently under construction are functioning outhouses. Inside they will have modern fixtures but on the outside they will be rustic 'wood', complete with a half moon cutout above the door. These should lat a long time as they feature a heavy welded steel frame and will be sculpted from fibreglass reinforced concrete. As the saying goes 'they are built like a brick outhouse.'
Home again.
A home based business and working with family isn't for everyone but it is how we have chosen to operate our business from the start, more than forty years ago. Our kids were always welcome in my studio as they grew up and the grand kids as well. We all work together on a daily basis and love doing so. Late last year we made the decision to have Becke (our daughter) locate her new modular home on our property. It arrived late last week. We did some major reshaping of the yard to accommodate the new home as the city building regulations required the concrete pad to be four feet above the original grade. By summer, with sidewalks and landscaping complete it should look like it has always been there. Peter and Hailey (son and daughter in law) recently purchased the large lot next door (behind the modular) and will be building their new dream home soon, bringing us all closer than ever once again.
Puddle jumper
After being on the road on business for the last week it was time today for a little down time with the family. Juniper and I went out for a walk to burn off a little energy. We found a small puddle to jump in which was a whole lot of fun. That of course led to a larger puddle and that in turn led to the best one yet. It was hard to hide the result from grandma.
