Not getting along with my mother in law ,I decided to build a retreat on my acerage , I have an old self contained camper , with
shower ,stove ,toilet ,
hot water ,and fridge, and furnace too .
I built this
cabin from logs and am installing all the luxuries from my old camper , which is then going to the dump . I'm surrounded by
trees, and my garden is just 50 feet away .
Being in Canada , I may not reside the whole winter in it ,but I don't see any real reason I couldn't . I often go skiing and snowshoeing in -23 weather ,and I'm moving my furnace from the camper into my cabin too.
I laid a waterproof tarp on the roof logs and as I dug a bigger garden I put the sod ontop of the roof , the tarp insures it's rain proof . I grew radishes on the roof last year ,put now just let nature take it's coarse .
Being a senior ,I find this like a second childhood adventure .
Part of the problem in the house was my inlaw didn't approve of my building a motorcycle in my downstairs retreat .
