Hi there,
My Dad was featured in one of Lloyds books, Tiny Homes, for building the wooden yurt Big Sky Retreat.
Recently he has been building another cabin called Big Sky Lookout, which is smaller than the yurt, but still made up of reused and recycled stuff. I made a short film following his progress along the way.
Many thanks,
Red Evans

Beautiful.
Can't help but smile, when I imagine being inside it, looking out…waking up to sit up in bed and see the view…Wow.
Now that's a life! No cars, no noise. That's really living!
