Thank you! This deck is really simple, and hard to mess up. I am not really a handy man either, but most of my projects turn out pretty good. My cabin is really small, so I use the outdoors as my living room.
Keep dreaming.... I had a dream of getting my own land to experiment with off grid, back to the land, living for several years. It finally became a reality. I hope it does for you too, if that is what you want.
I have been able to build my own place, all by myself, grow some organic veggies, watch the stars, and listen to Whippoorwills at night.
