Waiting for the water taxi with the north wall of our cob building in raw straw bale form.
Eric and Lorraine feel the groove of community.
Sandra and Krista enjoy the straw bale couch.
Keith hanging out with the Julia ladies!
Krista and Scott anticipate the 1 ton water taxi loading, only minutes away.
Sweet peas and sunflowers seedlings for the future, head over with us to be planted.
We loaded 2,200 pounds of straw bales onto the Mercury Launch water taxi in under 4 minutes. It was a flurry of energy, focused with one common purpose in mind. The definition of team work.
Heading over to the Ecovillage with 23, 90 pound bales of straw essential materials to build our cob structure.
Purple sea of foxglove at our beautiful ecovillage.
More beauty at the land.
Scott and Julia harvest 6, 17 foot posts to build the shelter under which the cob structure is constructed. Troopy is indispensible as usual.
5 loads of straw in the back of Troopy get all of it to the building site. Julia unloading.
All of the straw needed to be stored with airflow between each bale to protect against moisture and insects.
The straw is covered under a big tarp, the biggest tarp many of us have ever seen.
Eureka! After a year and a half battling with Newton, that is Newton's law Scott finally acheives victory and water actually flows downfill.
The unbridled joy of water flowing out of a hose!
Krista experiences a natural shower with all the exhuberance of new found love.
Scott casually kicks back at the Ecovillage watering the garden, like it was the most normal thing in the world.
