8x8x12 + 5ft eaves.  Does this mean it needs an 18 ft x 22 ft roof?

Here's a permies wiki for ways to get logs out of the woods:

I kinda want to appropriate the word "funky" to also mean "multifunctional" in the permaculture context.  Like stacking multiple functions through elegant design and integration of farm elements or natural materials.

Maybe a homonym, spelled func'ky or phunky?

"Did you see that func'ky tree over there during the farm tour?"

"Yeah, I saw they were simultaneously using it as a grape trellis, a fence post, a shady nook for seating, and I hear they will soon be pollarding it for tree hay and firewood."

or.

"I like how the see-saw and the swing set on the playground pumped water up to the sheep pasture. Super phunky"

I built a two story farm shack and am looking for some design inspiration regarding stairs/ladders/other means of getting up and down levels.

Right now I use a home built rope ladder indoors, and an aluminum ladder outside. Eventually I'd like more permanent and multifunctional builds in place, such that I can carry loads up and down.

Have you come across any really cool, funky, or multifunctional stairs and ladders builds lately?

Yay! Thank you both!

I really enjoyed seeing the smorgasbord of projects (Badge Bits) people were working on in the PEP forums.

Is there a way to bring back the "recent" view in the PEP forums?

Right now I only see "best ever" topics, rather than a full on stream of "recent" permie projects. Below is an example from the natural building pep forum. Thanks for being awesome and letting the inspiration flow!

Step 1: Join tacoies forum.
Step 2: Talk about bacon, pie, and tacos ALL THE TIME.
Step 3: Apply 8th permaculture principle to integrate, rather than segregate bacon, pie, and tacos. (see photo of B.P.T.).
Step 4: Return to permies forum to design a permaculture homestead to make Gir Bot's culinary dreams come true. 🤤

Hi Judith!

There are still about three dozen links that are fresh and unused. And the thread has about 250 views. Maybe the table view isn't as helpful as simple links. But I'm satisfied.

Feel free to tag along and post your own codes if you'd like!

Note: my table above is most easily viewed in "desktop mode". If one scrolls down one can find a link to swap between mobile and desktop views.

Hi Liam, just following up to see how your proposed project went.

Were you able to design and build something to meet your needs?
