We're not homesteders as such, but we do live a simple life that is in touch with the cycle of work and rest is evident throughout nature. Our approach to living, based largely on the reduction of wants and a mostly non-monetary return from our organic horticulture, bee keeping and other sorts of labor. Were living the good life along the Mississippi river valley in north eastern Iowa.

RE-PURPOSING - CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
One of the Blogs I follow and truly enjoy is http://relaxshacks.blogspot.com
and today he asked a question about bizarre re-purposed items.
Back in 1995 Susie, Beau and I began renovation on our late 1860's School house. Re-purposing was the name of the game right from the start.
When we took the roof off of the school house to build up we re-purposed the lumber in the construction of the pole barn.
So, when I laid the stone for the sauna on the back end of the pole barn I incorporated the drivers side vent window from a 1966 Mustang.
The pictures to the right are the window from either side of the lime stone wall.
And a shot of the roof of the greenhouse which is re-purposed 1/2 inch thick Plexiglas -- acrylic plastic sheets. The Plexiglas sheets that are mounted on the outside edge of ice hockey boards.
