They're helping this afternoon. It's such a luxury, drifting. And drinking gunpowder green tea, and not having any more essays to write right now!

seconded.

I've only gotten up recently, and the other three kids in the house are still sleeping or quietly alone in their rooms. It's 1:45. In fact I've only gotten my own damn self up to reply to another thread I read on my phone (from bed). Where is that thread, or was that a dream too?

...

there was a dream about a cellar thread... footfootfoot had posted a lovely picture of some well forested hills, somewhere country. I playfully replied that I wished he'd said something about being there because I was in the same area at the same time, or so I thought. footfootfoot had taken and posted the picture a long time ago, years, from a trip where he'd been helping a friend survey some land. He was in an elevated location, and the picture was the result. *my* picture was very similar, but was from a recent trip. I, too, had been out in the woods and at a high elevation but because I had been repairing some high tension lines that had failed. I had a whole diy repair photojournal of the repair/replace process (in my dream) and also took a scenic shot from on top of the tower.

When I realized I'd replied to a years old thread, I was embarrassed.

I referenced this in Jim's apartment thread so I figured I'd best post a pic. Our leather couch turned out to be really poorly made so I took the refund money and built this. I was afraid it would look terrible, but decided that would be bending to other people's opinions and this is my house done my way so I give you, Moose Couch.

I LOVE it! I love the entire look, the beamed wood ceiling, the wooden floor, beam over the windows, and what you built - I want to sit in the sunbeam on the top level and do my work there today!

That is far better than anything you could buy.

Griff · 01-19-2013, 10:07 AM

Thanks! I know its not everyone's cup of tea but for me it's nice.

I just re-read that, I built the whole house beams and all.

Griff -- wasn't there a thread where you posted pictures of the house?

Griff · 01-19-2013, 10:23 AM

I just searched it. Here is the thread with the video...

Long strange trip continues.

Oh Griff, that looks really nice! That's a modern architectural feature, not some college couch design. Very cool.

I just looked at the video and entranceway threads - fantastic. I've always loved post and beam houses, and yours is wonderful. What a dream project. It's so great that you were able to use cherry from your wood lot, build your own cabinets, etc. - and the fireplace! A central thermal mass column that radiates heat all day and night ... and that's an oven above the firebox, isn't it? I looked at Temp-Cast when we built but couldn't swing it.

What a beautiful place you've built, Griff.

Griff · 01-19-2013, 12:58 PM

Thanks!

Griff has exceptionally good karma, it seems. Plus he's a great craftsman.

Trilby · 01-19-2013, 04:47 PM

I LOVE it! very cool!

today I made gingerbread. It's for the little children I am going to woo into my candy house and ....well, that's a story for another time.

Griff - I truly envy your skills. Outstanding!
