A Writer’s Cabin

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T11:18:48+00:00

I once had a well known writer ask me to build her “a little primitive shed where I can get away from the main house to collect my thoughts and do a little writing”.

And this is what I built.

And she loved it.

And we all lived happily ever after.

And no, I cannot tell you who she is. lol

One final thought of the day…

I am so thankful that so many unique individuals have come into my life, each wanting me to build them something special to meet their dreams. I’ve built barns, timber frames, silos, log cabins, stone homes, mills, and yes, sheds and outhouses. From two thousand dollars… to two million dollars.

All my projects share a common theme. They were all built to last a century or more, and they were all designed to look “as if they had always been there”.

Thanks to all for coming along.

Pause for a moment, and enjoy it

And the same is true for Novembers…

Wood… an amazing material

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:50+00:00

I do marvel at how everything that a family needs to build a farm is provided by a group of trees… even the fencing seen here is all wood.

Think outside of the box

Why not consider doing something others would consider crazy?… be frivolous!
Be assured that practically anything that you can build out of stone will be beautiful when done.

Early American pickup truck

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:45+00:00

Nope, that’s not a Toyota, nor a Nissan truck.
That’s an early American made means of hauling!

The perfect barn

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:43+00:00

A very nice barn… sometimes referred to by city folks as a “cow house”. lol

I have a hard time imagining a more attractive barn than this one.

Maybe, we need fireplaces

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:23:32+00:00

Whenever I have a fire, before turning in for the evening, and after having turned off all the house lights, I make sure and take at least a few minutes to just pause and stare at the flames.
I find that a room lit with only the light of a fireplace to be comforting and reassuring that all is well.
I imagine fires have been giving comfort to us all for many generations.
Maybe… we need fireplaces.
Maybe… they are more than luxuries.
