Some of you who follow our other blog, tipsbytom.com, may have notice a feature called “Do It Yourself Home Building“. This story is based on emails received from Tom’s brother-in-law who is building his own home, green house and workshop in a town in northern Wyoming. Chip, his wife Peg, and their two children have literally built these structures from the ground up. We were there for a couple of days this summer and were amazed at their progress. I took several pictures of their home, and shop area as well as some of the landscaping they have started in the yard.
They designed and built the home and shop area with sustainable concrete in mind. All the floors are colored and stamped concrete. The outside entertaining area is comprised of an outdoor concrete kitchen, stamped concrete patio and a fire pit/ seating area. The yard also has a beautiful and functional handmade rock river flowing through it. River rocks sit on a bed of formed concrete. A natural drainage ditch runs through the concrete/rock river to create a natural river rock sound, as well as serve as an irrigation source for the yard.
All of the floors in the house and the greenhouse/shop/garage were struck off using the TTI Screedright Pro. Chip and Peg also used the concrete screed to level off the sidewalks and driveways as well.
It is a job well done!
