The coolest building in the world lately...unfortunately I had no part in it (designed by the genius Rem Koolhaas). I have a love of architechture.

Still gotta make some mini-crown for the window/med cab top pieces but it is basically done. Honduran mahogany - those are mini-appliance garages on either side.
(forgot to close the one drawer!)

i have a giant hole in my roof where i was attacked by an ornery oak...autumn is approaching and the squirrels are moving in.. but i put that aside and build this little guardian gnome throne over my two sleeping beauties.
i figgur he'll protect them from any other tree attacks.
the gaps in the wall are there if you want them to be.
passing thru our space, the beyond comes and goes according to it's own whims.
all of mine barriers have cracks and breaches, for a respiring soul shuns expiration.

im losing my cone ect ivity in 2 days and i've been wanting to scan / share this journey...
10 months, 12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, me an my hammer (which i stole from my wife who purchased it in a san franciso hardware store so's she could hang a picture of her and i with no distance between our lips.)
...a whole lot of learning,
and more personal digging than i've ever known:
i hand dug my foundation cause i don't need no stinkeen tractors and anyway i've tractor in my bloodline.
that's my pops. i've all the respect in the world for him.
hand dug the shitter, as we all should to have.
we have a stage and feet that yearn.
let us dance?
...gives whole new meaning to the term 'wall hauler', which i dutifully employed with a 2:1 reduction and NO f*#king manpower save my riches.
the divisions are beginning to take form, im building a cage system promoting privacy though stymying the fluid dynamics of the home.
40' long 4x16 ridge beam no hydraulics necessary. just a high lift jack, a wall hauler, and more pulley reductions.
go away sky.
i pre-fabricated my eave soffits on the ground, then hauled them up in one piece, installed with some arduous overhanging screwing.
elements be damned
all for what?
cause it's a good way to get old.

This is the finished product.
Being up on the ladder is the worst part. I would feel more comfortable 2000 ft. off the deck on El Cap.
At least I wouldn't have skateboarders, bicyclists, and pedestrians waltzing under my ladder. Totally unaware as they walk around the caution tape I set up.

Not nearly as cool as building a great house in the woods with a metal roof or putting up a solar panal array or building a skate park...
Putting the tail block on a surfboard-build-in-progress. East coast hurricane swells are beginning to arrive. Goin' out for Sunday dawn patrol.

I got tired of doing a 5.10 highball just to get to the top of my lot. Now its only 3rd class (when you've had a few and need to hold onto the railing).
