    Wife- can you build a fort/cabin for Kamo but your not allowed to go to the store.
    ME- i can try, now im taking down a big pine to sheet it with my alaskan saw mill. Red pine posts and center beam. Not bad for my first building on the property. 88EA0554-13D5-4DBB-853E-4683CEBE3136.jpeg

    Nice. When he grows out of it, and not too quickly, you can use it for wood storage!

    Looks pretty roomy! I had an old packing crate as a kid, it was way too small. I like the open walls, keeps it ventilated.

    Sweet!
    Is Kamo his given name, or a nickname?

    When I was kid, the neighbor that was a couple years older than me had a small cabin in their woods.

    I discovered Rock & Roll on the radio in there...

    I learned to cuss out there...

    We drank a lot of beer in there...

    Started smoking in there...

    First kiss in there...

    Man did she teach me a LOT!!!

    I can see it all in a few years. "Honey, we're really low on firewood and with this cold coming on we might have to buy some." "Naw. Not a problem. I know were there is some good burnable dry wood."
