A highly detailed small home

Just look at all the detail in this small home!
Amazing.
If I had to guess I’d assume this was a mail-order home. Just pick the house you want out of the catalog and have it delivered, assembly required.
I wish the company that created this home package was still in business.

Rough sawn siding and “barn tin”

There is not a lower priced siding material to be found than that of locally sawn lumber… nor is there a lower cost roofing choice than “barn tin”.  Isn’t it amazing that the cheapest option is also the most attractive material when building a barn?  Some would say those material options also holds true for being the best choice a house.

So, I have to wonder… why is it not more commonly used?

I wish I had the answer, but I’m afraid I don’t.

My dad used to say that sometimes a good question was worth more than the answer.

I don’t know if that’s true… but it does get me out of answering some tough questions. lol

Oh the life of a Miller

At some point in this life I would love to live in a Mill. The Mills themselves are built so strong to withstand the weight of all the equipment and grains, and the stresses coming from the operating machinery. Not to mention having a slowly spinning water wheel and stream nearby… just perfect

A “fixer-upper” with a view.

Yes, indeed the view is gorgeous, perhaps even shocking. And the little cute house… fits the scene perfectly.

Pause for a minute of think of the houses you pass on the way to work and how they would look in this scene, or perhaps ponder what might be designed and built here by most architects and builders who practice their skills. It wouldn’t be same photo would it?

There was a season in my life that I would have loved to have had a place like this to live. I wish I knew more about this place… it appears to be located in a national Park on the west coast…

Log cabin – Farmhouse

You know, it’s these homes with simple designs that I find most visually striking.
Take this cabin for instance… I doubt if there is another one out there like her.
There are no fancy details to be seen, and no faux embellishments have been added, and yet… this home has a bold appearance about her not seen on modern houses.
I would think a new home built with these lines and using high quality materials, like perhaps… a slate roof, antique logs, and a timber-frame addition, would make for an incredible dream home.
