What we have been doing all this time

Building an open air classroom for teaching composting methods and uses of medicinal herbs. Jameson did most of the building really, Issac and I did the detail work.

Level the Ground














With two shovels.

Posts



















Attach the posts to concrete blocks, dig deep holes, insert posts.

Connect the Posts














Finished Frame















Cobble-Stone Floor















Laney spent weeks on this part. Slow but rewarding work...paid in dirt

Bamboo Walls




















Isaac found his calling

Raised the Roof!














Raised the basic four post roof. Using one ladder!?!

Cutting














Around this point Isaac ran off to do his own bidding.The electric saw broke. Leaving the remainder of the roof to be cut by hand.

Finished Roof














Hand cut.

Almost Finished Product:

This is the finished gazebo structure. We are working on thatching the roof now…

  2. Wow. Well done! I'm mostly just glad to hear that you weren't overtaken by a pack of wild chinchillas.
    By the way, I've found Chaka's new crack, something that makes her literally hang on the edge of the cage in anticipation: Banana Nut Cheerios. Don't worry, she only gets one a week. But when she smells that one... oh man, it is ON!
