reflections

It has been a while since we have updated this page, life has thrown some hurdles at us over the past weeks and we are just dealing with some red tape and unexpected costs, especially on the vehicle front, it has cost a small fortune to get my 4 year old vehicle insured here in BC, and much of those funds had been allocated to building materials, so the shop project is on hold until next week when we anticipate acquiring some used metal roofing.

However we have been forging ahead on the chicken coop and it’s almost completely sealed up! It is a great space and the final finish details include: getting the egg collection door install, moving the electric fence, and getting the built in water and food containers to dispense. Also I have some creative mud work ahead of me, as I plan to install a piece of tree into one coop corner and earthen plaster around it, allowing the chooks to enjoy some branches, and make the most out of this little space.

We are also spending a lot of time these dark evening designing our land to better accommodate large groups for next season. We have acquired some really amazing industrial waste products which are ideal building materials and we are overjoyed with the opportunities which have now opened up to us, more on this later. By late winter we will be posting our micro building plans along with a calendar time line, so that friends and family can plan there trips around specific projects.
