Arnold, CA…This last couple of weeks any spare minute was spent on building outhouses for customers. Our hope is to make our Hewn Hill off grid project self sustaining.

Arnold, CA…In today’s video we finally finished the last of the soffit boards so we can turn our focus to getting the roof sheeting done. Before that the next thing on the list is to get the floor in the sleeping loft finished and nailed down. This will give a stable plaform to work on […]
