Thanks for the suggestion Hans.  I would but its more of a chore on a mobile device for reasons that need to make it to the devs.  

I believe some pics to be self-evident or else we're waiting on braille screen.  

And.. is that the original spelling for 'hugel'?

Cheers.

It's been a busy week in preparation for the RMJ here.  We've had a slim crew but it's down to Steve n me for a few days.  Regardless, everything is going smoothly and the show must and will go on.  

Personally, i've relocated to be closer to the action and make room for our new guests at Cooper.  It's been a long day for everyone to say the least.  

Tomorrow I optimize my new abode to be as convenient and comfortable as I can, catch any last minute oversights and be available and flexible for whatever is needed.  Oh and if some r&r is in possible, I'll grab an overcharge for next week.

I was wondering if anybody had taken a close look at the easy to get to sand? Is it too rounded to use for construction materals like cob?

That's a rap - it's Friday and we scramble to make quick progress before uncle Mudd and his crew take off tomorrow.  The library RMH is looking pretty, the shop RMH was tested with great results tonight and the red cabin is either complete or very near.  Interesting projects, good folks and no shenanigans to write about - a success in my book.
