The Summer 2012 Building Season

By the end of last summer's building season, we had the walls braced, the roof beams in place, and the metal roof attached.  The plan for this summer is to add the straw walls, the windows and doors, and the rammed earth floor.  Fortunately, we purchased and stored the straw at the end of last summer, so there is no need to wait for the growing season to be over before wall construction can begin.  We give thanks to St. John's Episcopal Church in McLean, Virginia for a recent contribution to the project and hope that others parishes and individuals will be able to contribute as well.
