Phase 1 at Miller Lake | Old Garage Demo the Old-School Way
Remember That Old Cottage? 👀🏚️
We’re back at Miller Lake and diving into Phase 1 of this transformation! 🚜
The old garage is coming down — the old-school way. 🧰💪
No heavy machinery here, just good, detailed, hands-on demo work, one piece at a time. 🛠️
It’s careful, meticulous progress — and the future legacy home is officially in motion.
Stay tuned as we take this build from cottage past to family future. ✨
“I continue to be fascinated by how slow, seemingly inefficient methods make my self-education more helpful and more meaningful.
Example: This week I was reading Jan Swafford’s introduction to classical music, Language of the Spirit, and I wanted to see the lives of all the composers on a timeline. Instead of googling for one, I decided to just make one for myself with a pencil in my notebook. It was kind of a pain, but I had a feeling I’d learn something. Pretty much immediately I was able to see connections that Swafford wrote about that just hadn’t sunken in yet, like how Haydn’s life overlapped both Bach’s and Beethoven’s while covering Mozart’s completely. Had I googled a pre-made timeline, I’m not completely sure I would’ve studied it closely enough to get as much out of it as the one I drew.
Another example: I copy passages of text that I like longhand in my notebook, and it not only helps me remember the texts, it makes me slow down enough so that I can actually read them and think about them, even internalize them. Something happens when I copy texts into my notebook that does not happen when I cut and paste them into Evernote or onto my blog.”
15 min sketch non digital. You can find the pictures I take inspo from in my Instagram highlights now.
I was busy cutting those lately. Do you also need so many tools for a simple task?

Inspired by this period “Art Nouveau”, love the curves, and those flowers, jewels, clothes…
But 🤨 I’m not a huge fan of green…
@brooklyn_speaks went Home. Sending notes to the family is a good idea. Waiting until the commotion of funeral and well wishers fades a bit is a good idea too. Sometimes friends get weary and want the grieving to move faster. “Just get on with life please.” They don’t realize that this sacred time—takes time and is a gift. #grieving #griefisagift #calligraphy #byhand #flourishing #custom #lettering we love you Brooklyn. Thank you for your hard work and sweetness. 😔❤️🥰

Acho que todos que se aventuram em desenhar a maior dificuldade são as mãos e os pés ¬¬ Eu ainda estou na jornada de melhorar o traço desses malditos rs, mas esse foi o primeiro que arrisquei a fazer a arte final, e gostei bastante do resultado :P
D A N K E: für das grosse Vertrauen in meine Arbeit, dass mir meine Kunden mit jedem Projekt schenken. Einzigartige Orte können nur so entstehen. Soeben ist eine weitere Wohlfühloase fertig geworden. #thankfull #lovemyjob #garden #terrassen #byhand #handdrawing #fall #inspiration #ausseneinrichter #janhauser @ausseneinrichter
