And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Artist's Studio. I'd make it twice that size, add insulation, a place to sleep/crash right in front of the window, and allow the window to open.
Not a studio. No work space, just a little vanity project with shelves filled with pottery. The woman I married is a potter and it takes a lot of equipment and space to create the ware.
I have a 49-year hobby of making functional pottery. That is, I threw my first pot in 1976. As "Annie" (above) says, this is not a pottery studio... or any kind of "artist" place of work. My pottery studio has two electric wheels, a large slab rolling table, a very large kiln, many shelves and counter tops, a pug mill and other equipment for making pretty things out of dirt and water.
If the roof is designed to channel the water into a bucket, it's also going to be coming right down on the head of anybody going in or out, and low-angle valleys (like this one) almost always leak over time and severity of rain.
Foundation's about as stable as Rachel Madcow. Coming downhill after one heavy rainstorm. Roof's gonna leak in the middle if it lasts two rainstorms. One shake and those pottery examples and shelves are rubble on your head. (Hint: the only place there are hills are where there are fault lines.) Entire shack is brushfire bait. Too hot. Too cold. Dry (as in no running water). No potty. Only stupidity missing is a wood shake roof. That's a lot of work for something you could have done with a nylon pop-up from Target for 1/50th the effort and cost. Just the sort of thing idiots in the Hollywood Hills, Central Coast to NorCal, and Oregon Coast would come up with. I call them Low IQ Cute.
Don't need a lot of fire wood and use a tiny stove to keep it warm.
ReplyDeletei would tear it down and start over with a propper roof.
ReplyDeleteSaid the man challenged by capitalization and spelling.
DeleteLooks like a Carribean beach scene. Roof artistically odd. Bed should be a hammock.
ReplyDeleteIf it snows, where ever that is, the roof won't last a season.
ReplyDeleteThe roof looks built to channel rainwater to a cistern or such.
ReplyDeleteAt least one person is paying attention around here!
DeleteI mentioned that just a few days ago.
Looks like this could have been assembled out of palette wood.
A 5 gal container of potable water could come in handy.

ReplyDeleteClearly there is no bucket on the front, it would be on the back.
DeleteAll art, no smart.

I've seen kid's treehouses with more forethought.
