we need forts

It hit me this morning that, no matter how much we dress them up…. or how “grownupify” we make our homes….what we are really pushing for is a fort. We need a tree house, a big cardboard box with some … Continue reading

these french dudes with hammers

Here’s another in a long line….a deep pool….a big pile….a…..bunch of videos that I’ve watched about people building something cool to live in and around. This time, it’s a bunch of French dudes with hammers and saws, a good amount of … Continue reading

move to live

What the heck. WHAT THE HECK?! Here’s another video about people converting something….in this case a schoolbus…. into a home to live in. I’m obsessed with that…..and when I think about it, I have been for a long time. There … Continue reading
