I recently returned from Asheville North Carolina after spending 3 1/2 months there helping friends build a house deep in the woods as well as having fun visiting with family and friends.
Here's my son Lief, daughter in law Betsy and grandson Rowan at an August pie party in Asheville.
Retrostyle clothing was one of the requirements for attending the party.
My brother Robin and partner Kim cooling off in a river at Swanannoa during an August heatwave.
My woodland campsite where I stayed during good weather while doing building work.
On the arrival of rain and cold I retreated to comfortable digs provided by friends Chris and Betty and/or Randy and Sally. Must be getting soft in my older years!
Solar shower can be seen in the background.
Here's an 8ft high door I made from old barnwood recovered from a demolished building on the site.
The handles are made from rhododendron branches.
Chris and Betty's new house sits on 25 peaceful acres (8 hectares) close to the Broad River near Black Mountain North Carolina.
I worked with a great carpentry crew: Steve, Clayton and Andrew. Here's Steve and Andrew working on the cedar top rail of the second floor deck.
