The fabulous Will Duncan III.  Ex retreat neighbour.  Moved to retreat suburbia....Viet helpin with the sheathing

I asked Bert if he thought I was getting any better at building.  He said yes.  I think I am jsut getting better at hiding my mistakes from him.

Hard to thank someone who does so much for you, day in and day out, building and otherwise. 

Bliss's retreat cabin is at the FAR end of the vally from mine - we can almost see each others cabin.  We have an ongoing argument about who's site is better.  I say mine.  To prove it... below is the view from the window where my sink will be - overlooking an ocotillo forest grove.  They jsut went into bloom - super thorny cactus with bright red devil's tails at the top.  Pic doesn't do it justice.
