Thank you! Let's see...
We're about 15 miles from the nearest gas/mini-mart, at Valle, AZ - apparently too small to be called a town, it's a "Census-designated spot."
Everything else is about an hour away - Flagstaff to the Southeast, Williams to the South, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the North. We're on 36 acres of what used to be a several-thousand acre cattle ranch. It's pretty dry, pinyon/juniper forest, with a reasonable snowfall most winters and a month or so of monsoon in the summer. We're down to three chickens, with the other three in the freezer & plans for another 8-10 chicks in the spring. Spring might also see a beehive or two, and maybe even sheep in the fall!
The place is small, probably 600 square feet, with one large room that wraps around into the kitchen, and a bathroom. Sometime this year, we'll probably be building a loft area above the bathroom & enclosing a back porch/mud room on the north side.
Pictures! Here's the NE corner of the main room - the plan is for a simple loft to extend to the beam just to the right of that painted skate deck.

This is the kitchen, under construction still a couple of months ago. The countertops are crude & temporary while I'm working on a couple of big live-edge ponderosa slabs for the back counter, and trying to figure out what would work best and look cool under the sink. I've seen some concrete counters with multi-colored glass that I kind of like, and think I might be able to make. The counter in the foreground is a long woodworking bench; we've been gradually plugging up the bench dog holes with wine corks.

The view into the bathroom - the trim around the door is more of that ponderosa, from a friend in Flagstaff with a portable sawmill and lots of logs to play with:

When I looked into the cost of shower curtain surrounds for clawfoot tubs I was momentarily out of breath, but then realized I could build the same out of 1" copper plumbing sweated together AND buy a cheap Harbor Freight tubing roller and still come out way ahead:

The floors are flagstone we salvaged from the discards pile of a local quarry. Because some of the grouted areas are a little wide, I started putting stuff in them in a few spots - old door keys, coins from all over the world, etc. This one's my favorite:

And a few more outdoor shots, while I've got a little momentum....
Here's that north wall again, and the west wall with final plaster (about 1.5" of earthen plaster, and 1" of lime plaster for water resistance). We colored the walls with patches of copper sulfate or iron sulfate solutions, which react with the lime to make the tan & olive patches - our objective was to look kind of like the lichen-covered basalt that is all over the volcanic fields here on the Colorado Plateau. The figures above the windows serve a purpose - you want to divert water sheeting down the wall away from the windows, so we figured we might as well make them entertaining.

And another indoor shot, that shows why build with straw - this is a typical winter morning indoor vs. outdoor temperature - usually we'll light the wood stove for an hour or so when we get up, just because, but almost all of that differential is from solar gain and great insulation. And it's nice and cool in the hot Arizona summer, too...

We had visitors this evening...
based on their 'shape', and appetite, I'd venture saying they're carrying this spring's crop of fawns.
