Get outside! :)

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:47:12+00:00

Here’s to your health!

Studies have shown that blood pressure rates drop when people look at a photo of the outdoors.

Imagine how how healthy it must be to go out there.

And so with that in mind, when you build that next home of yours, make sure and create spaces outside that will lure you from the comforts of the interior.

A handmade house is more than a home (as if that wasn’t enough). It’s also a way of life.

I do appreciate those moments in life where the only sound heard is that of birds singing.

Outside living

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:55+00:00

One advantage to a small home, a home that isn’t too comfortable, is that there is more motivation to get outside. And, that’s a good thing. There are wondrous things out there.

Trees and houses

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:51+00:00

Would you want to have a tree this close to your house?

I do love my trees. But, I’d be mighty nervous during a lighting storm in this little cabin.

And, if the tree were ever to be blown over, and for some reason it didn’t fall on the house, we all know that the root ball of a pine tree spreads wide and would likely lift the end of the house off of the ground.

But still, the tree adds so much to the charm of this house… it is what makes it unique… so how about you? keep it? or cut it?

The sound of silence

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:42+00:00

It’s so quiet… out in the middle of nowhere.

Patios

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:36+00:00

Ah yes, patios.

The nearly forgotten older sister to decks.

Located at yard height they don’t require view-blocking railings.

And since they are made of masonry, they need no maintenance, and, they last… forever.

Living the dream

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:34+00:00

When we build a handmade home for ourselves we are not only “leaving a legacy” behind. We are also “living a legacy”… now. Be that person.

We do have a choice

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:33+00:00

We either struggle for a year or two while building our dream home.

Or we struggle for a lifetime with the regret of never having done it.

Forget ordinary, go for extraordinary!

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:25+00:00

Even the act of heating water for tea can be an adventure in a handmade house.

Grist Mill timber frame

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T09:46:18+00:00

When it comes to timber framing there is not finer example to be found than those within a grist mill, where timbers needed to be large and plentiful to handle the weight and stresses of the machinery and grain found within a water powered mill.
