Garling Road Project.

Observations from Garling Road chronicals the building of our dream house on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Garling Road runs west off of Mt. Pleasant about 1.5 miles from highway 101, near Port Angeles, in Clallam County Washington. We are building a Topsider Homes house. The site is approximately 5.75 acres containing at least 4 distinct micro ecosystems. There are woods, pastureland, wetlands, and temperate uplands. Many different species of trees inhabit the site with Red Alder, Western Cottonwood, Balsom Poplar, Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, Western Cedar, and Western Hemlock being a few of them. Other plants include several types of blackberry, oregon grape, foxglove, salal, daisy, tiger lily, stinging nettle, common yarrow, narrow leaf plantain, about a dozen grasses, flowering red currant, and may others we have yet to identify. Here is a video that describes the property and tours the building site:
