A camper carport

 With the extra time off and real nice fall weather my husband decided to built a roof for our vintage Metzendorf camper. It was supposed to be a small freestanding carport of less than 144sqft (143 1/2 sqft to be exact, so no permit necessary) but will end up twice as big next spring as we had to apply for a building permit anyway. Thank you, friendly neighbor :)

The structure is made with locally harvested and milled Hemlock, bolted together and topped with a green steel roof. The camper just about fits - and the Volvo had a fit trying to get it backed in, slightly uphill, in reverse! - and the door still opens so we have easy access. With the big hedgerow it's also pretty private, so we might end up hosting overnight guests there instead of our messy, noisy (four year old...) house!
