tiny door and wood burning stove

I went there briefly today and always get a buzz when I alight in my little area and find it has not been discovered! didn't do much really just sat on the plantpot and daydreamed. I was looking at the structure I have built and deciding on the next course of action. I think I will complete the full circular 'teepee' around the central goat willow, so that is a bit of work to do...i am halfway round now..if i do decide to complete the circle then the structure will be quite spacious...I will leave a gap for a door and i have just the thing in mind. Our old garden shed is being replaced shortly, so i could trim down the door from that to make a custom fit 'little door' to my mud/straw/lean to teepee thing! i am also going to use the thinnish shed wood to create an internal cover all around, so when i am in there i am not looking at wood poles and straw but neater shed wood, carefully tacked in all around the inside..the floor will be a wood base on runners...so the finished structure will be a mix of mud/straw/pollarded willow poles (some of which have taken root), grass, plants, shed wood...and the creme de la crem..the best of all, a wood burning stove, with a chimney i can detach when i am not on site . I can really picture how cosy and sacred this will be when finished...but there is no hurry, i like the slow way the site has evolved...it looks natural and organic, its not been drastic, but rather dreamed out and co-operated with the nature all around me. Maybe in a year i will be sitting in the structure and meditating, basking in the glow of a fire:)
