Default Another project

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)

Nice project.
Maybe Mrs. E will want to operate a 'riding stable' on the property. ;-)
