Recycled Cabin

The goal of this project was that Mitchell wanted to make a cabin for himself using recycled materials.

So this was the start of the pile of pallets that were donated from the brew-master Andrew at Hockley Valley Brewery

We made up a base to get it all off the ground.

It is level even if Leah says you don't need a level to build with.

Laying down the floor skids.

The plywood that went down on top of the skids.

My Das Auto.  I think it really means truck because I have hauled more stuff with my cars than I ever did with my truck.

New toy.  Gas powered air gun.

You know you are in trouble when the wheels are off the ground
