Where Did The Summer Go...

Hello all,

Sorry for the inconsistency of my posts, it seems that the closer we get to moving the more things we have to get done and the further down the list this blog ends up. I will try to remedy that....and here's the first step!

We've moved! Goodbye to the lovely 65 Sandale Drive :(
The Palace was good to me
We are officially on the laaaaand and have even made the transition from tent dweller to cabin lurkers! Seems a lot has happened since last I posted let me rattle a few things off:

1) Poopshack is into fully operational status! We did all the siding out of pallet wood and have begun chinking with moss and mud and whatever we can find. Special thanks to my brother for the initials.

Fortress of solitude

2) We put up a canvas garage to store some of our stuff and be a temporary shower/bathroom

Could also be a sweet dancehall if need be

3) Muttrun has been put together as they need a place to be lazy when we're in at work. 

Sure beats the old spare room in The Trailer
4) We have a roof/windows/door and chimney! Also we've completed the bale work in the walls.

Views galore 

Stack Stack Stuff Stuff

Every bale in it's place

It's a hard days work supervising

5) We finished the plaster prep work with mesh and lathe on the outside and 90% of the inside also

Lets get Plastered!

Skin shredding fun!
6) Plaster is up on the front and north facing wall! Big thanks to Ma & Pa and Ger for their help last weekend!

7) We've learned to grab naps whenever the opportunity allows

Sleep in the bed you dig

Too beat to care
I will try to make a better effort to get up more info as we move along. But it has been a very busy and very rewarding few months of progress and excitement looms as the pending addition to our family grows and we near the big day. Here is a wealth of pictures of our summer's progress. 

Until next time

I can get used to this every morning

Oooooss a good girl??!!?


Doss & Co
