Wood is still in a pile.

I'm a testament that a timber frame project can take many years. Mine is a small project but is taking a back seat to trying to create a Homestead Farm due basically to my disillusionment with government, the financial instruction and world events, not to mention the job.  I would like to retire in 5 years and basically live off the farm. This is taking quite some time. First I wanted to get the trees in the ground. I planted many nut trees along with just about every fruit I could think of. I've made 2 herb spirals and and beds for vegetables (lasagna  style), which is described in Gaia's Garden book. I've made a Compost Tea bin for table scraps with red wigglers and still need to make a compost bin. We live on a small ridge so I have built swells on contour to push the water into the ground and also divert the excess to a low spot for a future woodland pond for wildlife.  I am currently finishing my tractor shed which will be used to cover my timbers so that I can get them out from under the blue tarp in the yard with ever increasing in size holes.
