Suzanne St. Pierre and Scott’s Paint Can Lid Outhouse Siding…..
Pretty simple…. a la flattened metal-juice can siding, which I’ve tried- it works well!

In Search of UGLINESS for my in-the-works TINY CABIN

Found this the other day- a bright, lime-green elephant statue- about 10″ tall, and I just couldn’t pass it up. Why? Well, its so ugly n’ bizarre, that I find it interesting…. I believe “Fugly” could also be the term used (you figure it out…). Anyhow, this thing will be amongst the decorative mess of weirdness that I’ve slowly been arranging in my little cabin “The All Eights”- and just you wait to see some of the other things I’ve found curbside, at yard sales, and at occasional thrift shops.

Here’s the lo-fi D.I.Y. rustic lantern video I shot in this tiny house/shed a ways back too, for those who have zero I as to what I’m talking about! As you can see, this place is far from done, and you can even see some uncut trim in the thumbnail shot of this structure.
