A sod roof

It looks like it’s time to break out the mower and trim the roof down a bit.

Seriously though… I have known a few people who have sod roofs… and every one of them absolutely love them.

Farmhouse porch

Who doesn’t like a nice porch?
The stone wall out front adds a nice finishing touch.

Quaker stone home

A Quaker stone home… notice the quality of the stone and it’s workmanship. Most impressive.
I can’t help but wonder what the folks of “years gone by” would think of our use of old wagon wheels as decorative items. So many old homes and cabins have them leaning against the home for an aging affect. I wonder if our descendants, a hundred years from now, will use 21st century spare tires to add a bit of our vintage era to their homes?

Log cabin heaven

A log cabin by itself is breathtaking if designed and built properly, and located in an attractive setting. But with the addition of a few outbuildings the place becomes magical.

Log cabin craftsmanship approaches perfection

An example of hewn log cabin construction at the “top tier” level of skill. No backwoods pioneer, or farmer during his down time, crafted this cabin… for sure.

Can a roof be too steep?

Rochester_House_2

I’ve always admired a steep pitched roof, but this roof would likely split a rain drop in two that landed on her peak. Can a roof be too steep?
