The "Norsk Hytte" is one of the continuing  Valhalla projects. Granddaughter Jill has always wanted to learn some construction skills.  And.. Grandfather Earl had always wanted to build a small cabin at the back of the property on a small hillock overlooking Jordan creek. This would be similar to the Hytte's our Norwegian Cousins built in the mountains of Norway.  

This dream came to fruition in 2006 when we finished a bridge across the creek and a road to the top of a small hill on the back forty. Near the 7 Acre Acquisition. Then we took a look at the construction materials we had available.  Just about all the lumber we needed to build this 12x12 cabin we had in our rough-cut sawmill stockpile. 

So it was that Earl and Jill with help for just about everyone else in the family, began construction of this cabin. It will contain a bunk bed, stove and table and chairs. It is hoped that the running creek could turn a small power generator and  keep a 12 volt car battery charged for lights!
