Barn
Spring 2009
Tasks: Timber framing, notching, siding, finish work, fencing
The goats, chickens, and horses are currently living
out of a
partial home... rough for them, but good for us, because if
this
autumn is anything like the last, we're going to have an extended,
cool, sunny three months to finish. We have all the tools and
are
willing to do on-the-job training. See our gallery for the
progress so far.
Summer-Autumn 2009
Tasks: Timber framing, notching, siding, finish work, fencing
It's about time we figure out a space for starting our seedlings.
So, we're designing a building to house a solar hot water
system
for the house and cabin, greywater recycling,
earthen-concrete-window-bale structure to extend our growing season and
recycle some waters before they go back to our aquifer.
Strawbale Sauna
September to December, 2009
Tasks: Build a sauna!
Nothing feels quite as nice as a solid soaking... not much
else
compares when the leaves pass and the snow begins to
accumulate.
Be a part of this, and learn strawbale construction at the
same
time.
The living quarters...
We have an attractive one-room pad in an aspen grove for you
to
stay in. It has a bed, sink, closet, counter tops, cupboards,
propane stove and heater, table, numerous book shelves, and a small
amount of storage. It comes completely stocked with cookware,
kitchenware, silverware, and maybe even a pair of rubber boots.
The living space also includes a secluded outdoor shower and
toilet, and the best campfire pit for miles. During the
summer we
do as much outdoor cooking as possible, in the winter, we'll share our
kitchen with you.
