Hey Survival- those are some wide thin'Dobes !? I made a more "brick' size 6x10x4 so i could lift them ! I'll get some pix of our cordwood/strawbale/ timber place that is almost done.
Adobe floors are WAY to much work but cool

I guess since I still have some items to complete, I'll say I'm still building a boat, though this will be it's 4th season on the water, and I'll likely still not be done building it.
I'd thought I was making good progress, getting to this state the first winter (I underestimated the amount of work and $ to complete it)
Cuddy cabin in place.
Structurally done and primed

Sweet number Paul!
Slabbo, mine are 10 x 14 x 4.
I swiped the measurements out of a Corrales history book. Should be a beefy wall when I'm done.

Last summer I had to reroof the place, while I was at it I added a dog house dormer to turn a big closet upstairs into a 1/2 bath and still sizable closet.
I am working up a vanity and have a few interior trim things to finish then the project is more or less completed.

Ok one and all here's what we're building down under the bridge. The new wippy pocket area is shaping up.
There will be a bank and like a flat top roll over. Check out the jersy barrier ride in the back we built about 3 months ago.
So if you haven't been following the progress of Marginal Way skatepark in Seattle, Planet Earth has just released a 6 part series on the creation of MW. Very professional. Thake a look here's the link.

Hardly Visible--your place is looking great! Nice work, as always.
I just finished this entry door for my partner's new music studio. Made it out of maple planks milled from our property, and added a few personal touches like the sun/moon glass and some purpleheart trim--the "tree" represents one of her favorites here which is reminds us of a bonsai and stands alone in a field alongside Hwy 101 near Blyn, WA.

lovely, sherri--but the door is scraping the grass? no threshold? a little concerned about long-term moisture effects on a real work of art ...
oops--not installed yet, right? sorry ...

Wow! There is some wonderful stuff being created and produced by our very own Tacoheads. Peter I am most impressed!
Can anyone tell me how to post a video so I can show what I've been building?

Maybe I took the "natural building" concept too far? lol ;)

Really wonderful posts from everyone... great cross-pollination of visions and ideas. There's nothing better than creating something (well, OK, there's climbing, skiing, etc.). Thanks....
I might add that the only reason I'm posting right now is that it's extremely hot here (high 90's, and 50%+ humidity)... I have a lot to do, but can only do it in the morning and evening, working outside in the sun.

Here's a world class climber who's also known for building.
Happy Chappy.

I captured him in action in Yosemite just the other day.
