On Narrow Pond in Ant Village

Water day again. ....ooohhh but look at those trees (may the elk be blind and fail to smell during fall and winter).


North wall finished. 75% work done before slip straw can begin.

When does a building come into existence?  When first concieved in the designer's mind? When a builder decides to build it? When the ground is broken?

For me it is when a building stands solidly on its own without any braces to hold it up...

....so here is proof!

This building's name is:   First Light.

You can follow First Light here:

It looks beautiful and so sturdy!

It does have its own beauty.....and the winter winds will definitely test its sturdiness...

.....having my place walled up and rodent proof would be really nice if I can get the slip straw done!

Hi Orin, it's coming along nicely! Have you found a local supplier for straw bales? I was looking around a couple weeks ago, wondering what options there are as I'm thinking straw could work well for the PAHS umbrella insulation, spreading them out into flakes to get 4-6" of thickness, but would still need dozens of bales.
