We're taking a tour and doing walk thrus of three projects I designed and built before starting my TH-cam channel. We start our tour with with a salvage treehouse set on a hill among some scrub oaks, with a beautiful view of the entire Utah valley. Other than the pressure treated posts and deck, all materials for this project were salvaged with all of the siding from a barn in Tennessee. In the...

Join me as I take a salvaged window, some plywood, lots of cedar fence planks, and an old cedar deck post and just start building. No plans, just making as I go. Not my usual process, I like t...

New paint, a little picket fenced English garden, and a new salvaged corrugated roof for the porch.

How I am Spending Time in My Backyard: Building, Planting, and Relaxing, the Tour
มุมมอง 4.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Come and see the progress we've made in our backyard this summer. We have a garden shed, pergolas, a greenhouse, a fire pit, raised and too short garden boxes, and a plethora of vegetables and beautiful flowers. Join us on our journey as we continue to reinvent, redesign, rebuild, and most of all, enjoy our backyard. Please forgive the differing sound quality, and the constantly moving camera. ...

    This shed is gorgeous, but insulation should be the next step. 110 degrees is miserable. I love it anyway. I love the front fenced area. It makes me happy just to look at it. I have a she shed as well and really want to have some landscaping like what you did. ❤ Now, to watch the rest of your video. P.S. I probably bought that magazine just because of Jens shed. I need to look through my stash.❤

    It's perfect. You added so much character to it. I would love to have a peaceful place like that to write and paint. I hope to have one when we move from Georgia to Florida this year. You did a great job explaining everything and I love the fact that you have family pieces that you can enjoy looking at for many years to come.

      She has turned it into an art studio. It’s been quite cold recently, and it takes a bit to get the heat going. But she likes to read and paint out there. As it gets warmer, you’ll probably see her posting. Thank you for the kind words.
