Quick video of the build from the back yard
Goofs, accidents, and omissions (Part 1)
I'm so sure that I'll make more mistakes that I'm just calling this part 1. I thought it might be useful to post a round-up of the things I wished I'd thought of and mistakes that could have been avoided if I were paying very close attention. Things that cost me money or time. And maybe a few things that didn't cost but are just a little quirky. I have a few categories, and I'll also tag this to particular projects so you can go right to the mistakes most relevant to your interests. In tech we have something called a retrospective. Atlassian makes a good guide for it , and there are a few key rules for how to approach a retro. I like to use these when trying to solve any problem. Don’t make it personal, don’t take it personally Listen with an open mind Everyone’s experience is valid Set the time period you’re discussing (last sprint, last quarter, entire project, etc.) Focus on improvement, rather than placing blame So with and open mind and a focus on improveme
Please keep going, can't wait to see the final product! I was delighted to happen upon Minimum Viable Cabin, I'll be going through much the same process next year in Connecticut and this has all been invaluable (and most entertaining) Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks! I'm still really enjoying the process. I'll keep going and I wish you luck in your build.
DeleteI hope some of my research/planning/mistakes are of use :-)
I love your roof choice...your notes have already been so helpful, and your generally fearless approach to the whole thing is inspiring :)
