Big Red Door

I was introduced to this 8x20 shed found to be no longer useful at it’s former location. It’s my philosophy “All is Useful”.  Restoring rapport to the discarded for a more purposeful existence is what I do here at the Carpenter’s Shop, it’s as if there’s a responsibility put-upon me to Honor what once stood tall. Like a pioneer I made do with what I had on hand to fill the need for this Alpaca Feed Shed AKA “Big Red Door” a little reconfiguring of it’s components, some “come bys” I had on hand and  craftsman’s integrity built in. This building stands tall, alive and purposful again.
