Yogan and Menthé’s Pacific Northwest Trip (Part 3)

"This is our funny USA building in Humboldt County.  Menthé and I built it in about 10 days. 

We used old first-growth cedar for the frame and old yellow shakes for the roof.  The timber is a mix between French and American techniques; the low wall in shingles and the high wall in colombage. The roof is curved like the ‘Philibert Delorme roof’; we didn’t use a lot of wood to make the curve because we screwed the inside of the plank on to the top of the curve, a cheap beautiful technique. 

The upper little roof is where you can watch from the bedroom mezzanine — just for fun.  The gypsy Dodge does not have a motor, so it needs to be moved with a tractor on the property.  It’s a friend’s bedroom, 6 ft. high!!!!!!
