Progress report November 2006

Well we have been living here full time now for four months, the 1st building is painted, the porch finished, the enterance is starting to get a facelift with coyote fencing, the drivway s curve is growing in , a gate to the back enterance is installed, our neihbors put up the fence between us, the picnic table is in place,






















our out door shower ( hidden below that tree) is still putting out luke warm water at days end, solar lights mark our paths at night,





AND I LOVE THE WAY THE SUNLIGHT FILTERS THROUGH THE TREES ON A VAPOR FILLED MORNING!!!!!

Working on the road

Where we live the top soil is fine sand, so our driveway was easy to get stuck in. We hired a local trucker to haul in road base to level and give the road a texture. We had him put on about 2" , 4" would have been better but we had to start somewhere. It really made a difference!

starting to Paint the outside

Painting the building was so much fun, it brought everything together and you would never know it was built almost completely from recycled materials!
As you can see we have not put on the decking for the porch roof yet, it was easier to paint at this stage.
