We have a ROOF!!!! This weekend we laid out

We have a ROOF!!!!

This weekend we laid out the wooden tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, built a temporary "pony wall", put up the i-beams, added insulation, hoisted up huge sheets of OSB flooring, and screwed on the metal roofing panels.

So now our community kitchen has a temporary roof; eventually we will remove the metal panels and the pony wall and drop everything down to be the floor the second story.

A few hours after we finished the roof the snow began. That night, as I was in bed in my tent the wind was as intense as I've ever experienced it. Such a relief to know we had a roof over part of the building!

Next steps: put in the kitchen windows. Build a small border to separate the kitchen from the dining room. Build stairs from dining to kitchen. Add in fill dirt to raise the kitchen floor up, then sand, insulation, and bricks. Eventually buy appliances. COOK STUFF!!!

I love that we are creating the hearth first. Everything else can ripple out from this fiery center of nourishment and alchemy.

And then build the adobe walls of the dining room; but it needs to be warmer for that phase of the creation!

Much gratitude to Franklin, Jenn, Ericka, and Cass (who came just for a walk and ended up, of course, doing a wee bit of work!)
