Roger,
Some good ideas. (also like how you're painting the door and room). Branches? Those look like a trunk. How big is the growth in your area? I am sure out there you could find use for anything that grows, if you have a little spare land. Ramadas, screens, retaining walls, pathways, compost even. Looks like you're having fun in your beautiful spot.

I live in a mixture of grassland and forest. The local ecosystem is unique and at 4'800 feet in southern Arizona we were able through the weekend without air conditioning. And we had some fierce rain. We have some trees in the 40 ft range.Speaking of screens, people hear harvest ocotillo branches and stick them in the ground with the upper ends tied to a goal post like structure. This "fence" looks dead in the winter, but when the monsoons come, the fence turns green and even flowwers on the top.

After seeing this I made a few new bag clips this weekend.
Fred, I like that idea, it is definitely going to get used at our place.

2 projects, same building for a family owned, fun bike shop that underwent an expansion.
Steel cable rail using reclaimed bike parts and a stair rail using XC skis.The timber frame rail for the loft rail was in place, I purchased the steel cable and channel. The bike parts were recycled. For the stair rail, the timber was recycled and the skis came from customers and a pile of trade-ins from behind the shop.
Hey!!!! is this bike/ski shop in the banf, Alberta region by any chance?
