Growing / Building
Milled fourteen pine trees from my backyard into wood. Used the wood to build this chicken coop. Twelve happy birds for two seasons before a predator made it into the coop and reduced our flock to six.
Also used that milled pine to put wide pine floorboards in the main house, build out my gym, build some raised garden beds, and design a new workbench for the barn.
Getting my family closer to our local ecology. Clamming 2-3 times per week in Duxbury. Quahogs, Cherrystones, and Softshells.
Growing mushrooms in the basement, dehydrating beef liver and turning it into gummies, experimentation.
2025 Projects: build an outdoor sauna according to Trumpkin’s notes; rebuild vegetable garden; dial in beekeeping; start lobstering.
