To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.




35' scaffold. framework to put wood on ceiling and foam done.

Interior, Barnouse


Looking up from the living area to ceiling.

Barn Cement, moving on




Front of the cement going into the garage.

amazing freakin amount of money poured and set. who knew?

To the right hmm the sage green wall doesn't look so green on camera does it? and there is a window - this is the utility room so it looks less "green" than the living area.



Statistics on Geothermal to follow, but paint is first




The floors are cement, eco friendly concrete stain to be sealed after all the walls are done. The walls are turning out to be a sage'eee green which of course looks different in every light. All metal you see will be wrapped in a form of pine stained who knows.

This is upstairs bath wall and each side of the bedroom has closets lining. sheetrock in place, mud and tape, ready set.

Siding up, doors in and stairs going!




Dirt work getting done, wood siding on, trim on, guttering on! Garage doors on the back of barn for the shop were put up, and the front garage door is on.


Electrical Boxes




Electrical boxes, not pretty but necessary!

Tall scary scaffolding, again , necessary to reach the 35' tall ceilings with foam spray equipment!

Barn - ouse looking like a barn!




Left - Showing the outside guttering and rain gathering system - as rain falls it goes into the guttering and down the pipes into a water gathering tank - to be used in watering outside. (aerobic system installed directly behind barn takes lines over to a rose garden)
On the right above - concrete stained - eco friendly non acidic to be sealed.


Barn, ducts and foam




To the left, ceiling duct runs,
to the right, a vent coming out of the foam insulation that was shot in the ceilings and down the walls
