I think the one thing we did demonstrate was that Poplar is an easy wood to work with using the full scribe method and when kept off the ground it doesn’t rot.

It rots very quickly on the ground and I found half a dozen large Sandstones to sit the main bearers on and twenty four years later it still looks good

A pleasant surprise were visits by Kingfishers, an Osprey came regularly for seven years and a pair of Otters bred two years running two pups each time

Here is one of the pups playing with a tennis ball that I hung from a branch over the concrete overflow

Just look at Dan’s other work on his website, mine is quite ordinary in comparison.  If someone is hugely wealthy they would be better to contact him and have one built to their own specifications 

 

I mean the whole package, lake and all. The log cabin would be something of an afterthought, and you could even sub it to yer man Dan.

 

How long did it take start to finish, is it the sort of thing you could do a quote for someone?

Maybe it'd never be worth your time, I don't know. But you know the sort of thing the fabulously wealthy are happy to spunk their cash away on.
