I hadn't been in the area for about 6 years, and it was totally awesome to be there in the heat of summer to be able to jump in Sheep Lake. We made our way in through Goat Pass, which turned the normal 9 mile hike in into a 2 hour scramble which left us with plenty of time to relax, swim and walk around the lake. The next day we attacked He Devil, then packed up and got out just as a sweet mountain thunderstorm hit.

This here's the shop I'm lending a hand to just outside of Princeton, ID. We worked on the rafters most of the past few weeks, and last Thursday I cut and placed the blocking between trusses in order to connect each independent section of the roof together.<br /><br />Something wild about building that I've been made more aware of recently is the strength of small things in large numbers. That roof is divided into five separate bays, each of which is only supported by what's under it with no side to side support. The blocking I'm putting in consists of an 8 inch piece of 2x8 secured by 4 nails. Looking at the thing you realize it's smaller than your dinner plate. But when you place 20 of them in good spots, it's all of a sudden bomb-proof.

Is there a better DIY project for the American male living the great Northwest? There can't be.<br /><br />I'm trying to go super cheap with my materials but super classy with my style. Reading lots of homesteader's books on building has grown a certain fascination with wood-joining, so I did a bit of notching for my support braces. Greg Albrecht also introduced me to the wonderful world of building with timber poles cut yourself, which I used for the front braces. So far I've only spent money on the lag screws, washers, and 4 ten-foot 2x4s. Next step is the rafters, which I started cutting with birds-mouth notches today. We're hoping for 3 cords to fit in this bad boy.

A little nub poking out of the dirt, and five times that underground. The barn is in the shot for scale.<br /><br />So far summer squash, cucumbers, broccoli, pumpkins, sweet corn, sweet peas, and pole, goldrush, black turtle, and anasazi beans have started showing themselves. It still seems a little like magic, to just poke some hard little lumps into the ground and see (roughly) orderly little greenies pushing up.<br /><br />Produce won't be ready for another month or so, but start looking for us around the beginning of July at the farmer's market selling "natural beef." It would've obtained the coveted Organic label, but there aren't any organic certified butcher shops around. Other than that, the cattle are all grass-fed on pasture that's been certified organic, so unless the butchers are injecting the beef with, I don't know, CFCs or something, you're basically getting organic beef.<br /><br />Palouse Organics is the name, Frank Hill is the man behind it, and LaVon and Grace Wagler are heading up the operation.
