The tiny store front is almost finished! Just need to get the building in place, and paint it before we can start getting the inside setup!
To stay with our Modern Pioneerism this building was originally a shipping box, that we have fixed up, reinforced it with osb, and redoing a few of the frame pieces.
Now we have to wait out today’s winds before we can do more. Until then it’s laying on the ground to help protect it from the winds until we can move it and get it staked.
I still need a name for this little store front. Post your suggestions in the comments!

We’ve taken today off from the stage build and started on the Plateau Hame De Colquhoun store front. The store front was created from an old shipping box, that we reinforced, and redoing to fit our needs. It’s small but will work for displaying items, and running registration out of. In the first 3 images are of the box is laying on its side, last image is it standing up.. We are hoping to finish the store tomorrow and get it set up and staked down. Then the next step will be painting it and getting the inside finished.

Day 2 of the stage we weren’t able to get as much done as we would have liked. The issue of Modern Pioneerism is that you have to think outside the box. Sometimes your plans and Ideas go as you plan, other times it takes some rethinking, planning and maybe some good neighbors to help. This was the case yesterday. But with the help of friends we are back on track..
The poles are in place, next is leveling (which was the hangup. How do we level the top of the stage? We had considered concrete, building a wood frame, packing with sand, many of these are against the Modern Pioneerism idea which is okay if we need to do it we will and have on other projects. But we think we got it figured out, and it’ll keep everything within our ideas.
Today we start day 2 of the stage build. The new stage is staying with our theme Modern Pioneerism meaning using modern recycled materials to build or achieve our goal. As many know we have a high power powerline that runs by our property. Last month the power company replaced a bunch of the poles. We allowed the workers to use our driveway, park their equipment by our place. In trade for 15 poles and plugs. Neighbors took the poles, we got the plugs.
We are using the plugs to build the stage (plugs are the part of the pole that was buried in the ground. Each pole is around 600 lbs and we are using 10 poles (that we are moving in place by hand).
Today we work on finishing placing the poles, leveling. The new stage will be the same size as the old 16×16 with a riser. Height was about 1 foot, new stage about 3 foot. We will still be able to break the stage down to setup a smaller stage like in the photo.
Day one rebuilding the stage here at @PlateauHameDeColquhoun . We had to clear the old stage, rake before starting to move the poles in for the new stage.Image 1 is the old stage with a cover. Image 2 after removing the old stage and raking, leveling the ground. Video hauling in the new supports for the new stage.

A few days ago it was 65 and really windy, today it’s 36 and snowing. If you haven’t seen snow in the desert watch the video. I always loved watching snow storms in Minnesota, when we decided to move to New Mexico it was my fear of not seeing snow. But it snows here a couple times a year, luckily though it usually isn’t much or lasts long. We get just enough snow that I enjoy it.
