THE SALOON STORY
I needed
to rebuild our dilapidated woodshed.
It was originally intended to be a simple
replacement but one idea led to another and what evolved over a couple
years was an 11 ft X 30 ft "saloon". It serves double-duty as
woodshed, garden shed, workshop, and storage...but, to me, it's mostly
a saloon.
Two
conceptual
themes
emerged
early
in
the
planning:
1)
all
recycled
wood; 2) only materials
that existed circa 1880 (no plywood, particle or chip board, no
sheetrock, no
plastics, nothing high-tech). Much of the exterior lumber is
recycled, creosote- soaked river-wharf timber. Most of the
interior
paneling--as
well as the bar itself-- came
from disassembled loading dock pallets.SALOON AND PROPERTY PHOTOS
