Sunday, we spent a little time recreating with some conservative friends at a shooting range. Later, we enjoyed a fine cookout.
Working on a big canvas: 40 acres on Lookout Mountain, Alabama.
Purchase and Location
I bought this property in 2005 and named it Richmond Woods for my father who taught me about nature and respect for the wild. It's located in Alabama near the Alabama/Georgia state line. The small nearby village of Mentone, AL has been a mountain retreat for 150 years for people escaping the summer heat of Birmingham and Atlanta. My companion, Carolyn, has helped me every step of the way.
A Cottage in the Woods
When you were little, did someone read fairy tales to you? Invariably, there was mention of a cottage in the woods. Our plan is to build such a place: handmade, no architect plans, buying local materials or using salvaged materials. The purpose of this blog is to document our progress.

My Son to the Rescue
This weekend, my son Jas'n drove up from his home in Florida to spend time with me working on the cabin. He is smart, strong, and good looking. The first two are going to be a trememdous help. We spent Saturday and Monday geting a roof over the back porch. We also put up tool hangers on the bath house for the aforementioned garden tools.
Sunday, we spent a little time recreating with some conservative friends at a shooting range. Later, we enjoyed a fine cookout.
