If your back yard is bare I would advise planting some trees as soon as possible.

Thanks for posting that Ed. I knew I had seen this house before but could not remember where (or what I had for breakfast

) when a distant cousin posted the picture on Facebook.
I love it when people use imagination...

That is a lot of what always drew me to Shopsmith. Hans was my kind of thinker.
I often describe myself as a "card carrying maverick"... I cannot imagine even in a dream my living the kind Pablum, shallow, boring, frightened, existence that many call their lives.
One of the reasons I like this forum is that many here are not afraid to think outside of the box.

Well I wanted to mimick this, so I planted some seeds Sunday and waited around all day to see some results...nothin. How long will this take?
Guess I could start on the walkway.

Dusty could maybe build a shop like that on a few cactus trunks.
There is a freestanding shop that my wife and I both like to look at as we drive by over on the south side of Indy that sits in a tree filled side yard. The shop is kind of a rustic green stain and trimmed in brown. Lots of windows and has wooden tools hanging in the windows. I'm guessing about 700 to 800 sq.ft. There is just something extra inviting about it.
I could not begin to tell you how many small old dairy barns and sheds we drive past when out for a drive that I make a comment: "That would make a nice woodshop".
All manner of large barns and tool sheds are mentally made into either a house or a stable.

If I built it, it would have to be on cactus. There are too few trees and the ones I have have 2" trunks.
