A Treehouse

I’ve built several basic ones… nothing as fancy as this nice one… but one day… one day… I’m going to do it!

Barns and churches
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:49+00:00
For most of this country’s history our largest buildings were our churches and our barns.
Now we have Walmart and Target.

Fireplace cooking
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:48+00:00
Any well built masonry fireplace can be used for cooking. All that’s needed is the proper equipment.
There are few things finer than a meal cooked on an open fire.

What will your legacy be?
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:46+00:00
Stone walls.
Stone roof.
Zero maintenance.
And a joy to look at!
What a charmer.
The life expectancy of such a structure (if it can avoid earthquakes and bulldozers)?… certainly hundreds of years… perhaps thousands of years.
What else can a person do during a lifetime that can impact and bless people that far into the future?

The charm of a wood cookstove

It looks like the rolls are done.
Can you smell them?

Still proud

I can’t help but wonder why this fine home was abandoned.
After many years of decay and neglect, she still stands straight and true.

Just waiting on a friend.

Uplighting
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:32+00:00
Uplighting… I use it whenever I can on the houses that I build.
There is no finer lighting than that which is reflected off of old timbers. And it allows the folks inside to fully appreciate the woodwork.
Timber frames, especially barns, are often tricky to light (barns are not known for their bright interiors). Uplighting, installing light fixtures that point upwards is the answer.

Hewn timbers

A great example of the rustic beauty of hewn timbers… those shaped by an axe.

A small home
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:21:28+00:00
I was going to make a list of things that I would have done differently if I had built this precious home… but I couldn’t come up with anything. 🙁
