Off-the-grid inspiration



Chris and I parachuted into Nan and Mason’s Big Adventure last week, and boy have those two classed up the neighborhood on Flat Top. Between Nan’s eye for style and Mason’s fearless approach to rehab/demo work, they’ve turned a once-humble abode into a shore-nuff B&B up in the Tennessee hills.
Nan cooked up a storm, Mason served up home brew, Nick the Dog got us off our duffs and out into the lovely woods for twice-daily strolls.
Their new life, off-the-grid, is a far cry from our Loveless project, where the Menards is a mere 15 minutes away. But the work they’ve done is nothing short of inspirational. I might just steal an idea or two once Chris and I move into Sweat Equity Phase II.

Loveless for sure needs a big ole fire pit like this.


 Nan could easily find work as a landscape consultant.

Ain't this the life?
