Here's a year of developing the property alone in the wilderness in Sweden. From the first visit to a finished cabin.

First step was to build a primitive shelter.

Second step was to set up a sawmill and get the tools in order so that I could make the building process more manageable.

FAQ:
What is that machine?
Its a mini forwarder called Oxen, made by Myresjö Maskin in Sweden. I don’t have any contacts to the manufacturer as I got mine used. I’m sorry.

What is that excavator?
Its called Digger and is also Swedish made. It was built to dig on its own, but the previous owner mounted it to the Oxen.

What is that dog?
Her name is Cake and she’s an amstaff-mix.

What are you doing?
I am slowly making this place livable. Permanently livable.
