Just a page of pictures that I posted to my site back on May 6th, 1999.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a picture of the stairs going up to the house. The railing is made of some old redwood logs that I planed off and tossed on some varnish to make it last. It is one of the few things that is still standing till this day.<\/p>\n

\"Tree<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The view of the stairs from a little ways down the road. The house is nicely hidden in the redwoods.<\/p>\n

Walking \u00a0up the stairs a bit and closer to the entrance door:<\/p>\n

\"Tree<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here we have the entrance door. I think I got this door for about $20 from Mark, a regular at the Corralitos Coffee Court.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Door\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s looking back at the entrance door after you come inside:<\/p>\n

\"Latter\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking inside the house you can see some of the construction details. Insulation is going in on the walls.<\/p>\n

\"General\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Roof<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Side<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is a bit hard to see in the photo, but the loft is starting to take shape. I just used a redwood 4×4 to support a simple rectangle the side of a small bed. You can see the bed sitting on top as I size up things to fit it just perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"Loft\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Underneath the loft I split the area in two; the left side was the \u201ckitchen\u201d, which was jus ta simple sink and cabinet. To the right, I eventually built a shower\/toilet area for the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\"Loft<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is one of the ways I learned basic house wiring and plumbing techniques. I wasn\u2019t able to silver solder at this points and I think my dad did that work for the plumbing.<\/p>\n

\"Wiring\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the back door looked like after you went to the back deck and looked back at it. A cheap outdoor light, and some sloppy trim work made out of scrap redwood.<\/p>\n

\"Other<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back left corner of the small outside deck:<\/p>\n

\"Deck\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I bought the smallest water heater I could find and made a small box to cover it and keep it protected from the elements. I could take about a 3 or 4 minute shower before the hot water would start to run out.<\/p>\n

\"Heater\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The view from my parent\u2019s house back in 1999:<\/p>\n

\"View\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My dad would grow exotic flowers on the property. Here are a few pictures of a \u201cQueen Protea\u201d, inside the \u201cbig house\u201d:<\/p>\n
