GARDENING
Gardening – Ideas, Tips, and Inspiration for Your Garden
One carpentry project was a tree house. It took a long time to build because he was determined to build around the trees not putting a single nail into the living structures. The extensive root systems made for a challenge as well. Jeff created plans as he went, one step forward two steps back! But the final result was complete with an indoor table, benches, windows as well as a side pulley delivery bucket system that his boys helped to build. |
