A Cabin in the Forest Part 1

Shortly after the completion of Ariel's Alpine Farmhouse, Devika (an acquaintance of Ariel)approached me about building a home for two of her close friends. Their names are Saoirse and Andara (they are the two with no shoes). They had come to visit Devika and were now planning on staying in this area permanently.

I must admit that they were an unusual couple of young ladies. They did not mention exactly where they had lived previously, but my impression was that it had a milder climate then Colorado. Without trying to pry to much, I did determine that they had lived "semi-wild" in the woods, and their preference was to go around "Le Naturale". Devika's had suggested that this was not a good idea, but they still refused to wear shoes. While they enjoyed living outdoors, the rapid climate changes here, did make them see the need for some form of shelter. Another tour of Norms Dollhouse, caused the issuance of building permit 121706-002, for an Adirondack Log Cabin.

I have quickly learned that each pixie habituate requires "customization". First change to the Log Cabin was conversion of the second floor to a loft. I could not get Saoirse to understand there is a difference between lightning and electricity, and her fear of loud noise and flashing light meant their new home would have to be "Rustic". Oil lanterns and candles would the order of the day. This was just the start!

Construction began on Dec. 17, and is going well.
