Day 36 - more ground floor

Bonfire

We had a bonfire in the middle of the octagon, to celebrate the fact that we won't be able to do this soon, as this spot will be covered by a floor in the next few days. The beams made great seats.


It is very useful having scrap building material around when you have a large fire and a bunch of kids that want to roast marshmallows with sticks that are too short.


The ashes of the fire will be covered by the house, and will remain there as long as the house does.

Day 16 - lots of tours

We were trying to put in a full day today, to at least finish the 5th course, but ended up talking with 3 separate groups that were touring the ecovillage site, as well as numerous visits from friends and neighbors. The price you pay for buildig in the centre of an ecovillage.

We almost finished the course, and finally seem to be speeding up, though our hands are getting a raw deal.
