Weghorst Ranch

Spiral

Hank — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:55:44 +0000

Built this staircase from scratch - tried to do the math ahead of time to determine the shape of the helix handrail, gave up, and fit it in place. Grace can bound up and down from her loft now.

After

This was taken immediately after a strong thunderstorm that produced 50+mph winds and 1″ hail. Pretty gracious ending to a violent storm.

Barn

We call it “the barn”, it’s really “the excuse”.

May

Each May the color shows up, checks in, and stays for 60 days

Alpha

Hank — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:17:54 +0000

The first column of the first wall… two years later, I’m still building.

Patterns

It never ceases to amaze me the visuals you get during the construction process… I’ll look and say “wow, that’s cool.”

Cactus

This little guy is one of the first things to bloom each spring.

Light

There are 51 windows in the “the barn”. My goal was simple - even when inside, I wanted to be outside.
