Done (for now) making some horse riding trails through the woods
beside our house. Took about 3 weeks to clear downed trees and
branches with a handsaw and using the tractor to make the trails.
Had
to remove rocks many and stumps and then spread over 30 yards of pea
stone on the smoothed out trails Total length of the trails is a
little over half a mile so far.

Then I got ambitious and decided to build a "rest stop" along the
way, complete with a mini porch, hitching post and stone campfire.

Plan is to have a relatively high peaked roof, with a small loft.
I'll wire it and relocate a 50 amp RV service that we no longer use
by
extending ditches and using direct burial wiring. I'll put one of
those fake fireplace/heaters for winter use and a small, 5,000 BTU
air
conditioner for summers.

Progress so far: (please remember, I am an amateur carpenter and
because there's no power out there yet, it's all being done with
battery powered saws, drills and swinging an old fashioned hammer)

What happend to your small generator? Or, are you doing this for your
health?

---------------------------------

I thought about getting the generator out, along with the compressor
and the nail gun, but this isn't that big of a project and I kinda
enjoy doing things the hard way sometimes. If I were working at it
7 or 8 hours straight, I would, but I am taking my time, working on
it until I get tired and then calling it a day. What you see in the
pictures took 3 days to do. A pro would probably have the whole
thing done in a couple of days.

Plus, I had to do a lot of Googling to figure out how to build roof
trusses. Never did that before.
