[ A corner next to the bed platform in Tyrava; it has a cabinet built into it, made from old weathered pallet wood. ] Lots of progress to post about! In between working on a 12×16 cabin for me & the business, I’ve been making improvements to Tyrava. Mostly storage; one of the big problems […]
[A sturdy set of shelves, solidly made from old, weathered wood. They’re an extension to the tool shelves I made last month. They’re about three feet wide, a foot and a half deep, and seven feet tall, and already about half full of Stuff.] Lotta projects getting done, not so many pictures taken. Gonna work
