These are some pics you may like. We built the cabin about 28 years ago. It was our first attempt at building anything. It was before the internet and google searches! We had to find our “how to build a cabin” books at the library!
This is the back porch, and a brick and stone patio. 
We built this cottage for my mother.
Next came the barn. It’s a post and beam, not a nail in it! Pretty fancy for horses, not sure they appreciated it! And of course the chickens needed a place to call home.
I have construction pics of these buildings that I’ll also share with you. Stay tuned! We’re also converting the barn into an Antique shop, just open a few times a year and for special groups and then eventually it will be a living space.
More pics!
Ruth,
