Small cabin for the farm

[Weasel]

Wasn't sure how to landscape but I knew I didn't want mulch. Came up with this idea on the fly. Had lots of free rock piles by the field edges on the farm for edging. Had some cheap pea gravel delivered.

Glad my buddy Jeff was here to help this day.

My buddy Jeff also suggested this idea, a bone yard. First I've ever heard of or seen.

Traded an old 870 shotgun I got for free years ago for a pile of tin roofing that I used on the overhang. I only used about half of the tin on the overhang and got a metal shed kit in the deal too. So we decided to put that up as well.

Holy screws Batman!

Summer time driving usually wasn't too bad up the dirt road & around the barn but spring & fall could be interesting after a lot of rain. Hated to literally throw money on the ground but, it sure was nice when it was done.

Like I said, summer time not too bad.

Spring, not so fun.

So, more money thrown on the ground. Worth every penny though!

See what happens when my daughters come up, gotta start with that woman's touch & start color coordinating everything.

So much for my redneck shanty town...but I gotta admit, they did a great job.

Got another pile of tin with some character and some other goodies at a farm auction down the street from home. Thought this stuff would look good as a wainscot in the cabin.

My neighbor and hunting buddy said he tore out his old Pergo floor & said it was still in good shape if I wanted it for the cabin. More free stuff, I'm in!

I cut up some of the old tin, I'm digging the look.

Another buddy offered several cases of free slate tile he had leftover & collecting dust in his basement. Thought some of it would be perfect for under the wood stove.

At that point, hunting season rolled in and then winter so now you're all caught up through the spring of 2016. I'll let this simmer a while and catch you up on what's been going on in 2016 soon.

That cobble stone makes a great drive way base. I put in a circle gravel drive at my current house and it was all farm field before we built. It took a few loads over a couple of years to get packed in from vehicle traffic, but now it is SOLID. Only thing I like better is crushed concrete.

What a great cabin! Good job and great use of free stuff.

So cool..

The scope creep has started already.... You now have 2 buildings :)

Great project and extremely well done. You won't regret putting the stone down (both on the driveway and around the cabin).

Can't wait to see what you've done this season.

Looks real nice man, wish I could work with my hands, I just don't have the know how, talent, or gifts in that kind of stuff.

Weasel,

I commented earlier, but looked at this again. You may call that a "small cabin", but dang you did a great job! I really like that. It seems to have a great atmosphere as well. WTNUT

Cabin looks awesome! Get some fruit trees and chestnut trees planted around jt and you can hunt from the loft!

My little brother has one in front of his house in WY, but his is all mulie and elk sheds. Super cool! That place is shaping up nicely!

Looks good. Free stuff is always nice.

Maybe I missed it but what is the little structure between your awesome cabin and shed? A dog kennel?? You've done very well for yourself. Keep up the good work!

Well done!
