Batten down the hatches...Part Two...

Writing mood has arrived once again and I am at one with he keyboard so the perfect time has arrived to finish this second installment.
Our wood shed is completed and is slowly being stocked up with our winters supply of wood.


Roof completed since picture taken.

Wet weather interrupted our wood gathering with forecast of sun soon.

Another winter worthy project completed would be found attached onto our existing outdoor addition. Tis a wee roof which gives us freedom from our patio steps being covered in snow this winter. It feels good to see this project completed.

Some may have spent the start of the Fall season canning, some maybe not. We choose to do our own sort of preserving,which is also important, preservation of our footing going down our steps. Such an evaluation seen right out our front door, very satisfying to say the least. Think we're ready for the winter days ahead.

Rustic roof...

Soon the chores will be checked off our list and we can relax and dive into the fun projects. Now that's another story.

PEACE OUT!!! Patty J.

Batten down the hatches...Part One...

Okay here I am back on blog after the summer dust has settled.

All of our earthship guests have come and gone, leaving the summer business behind us. A good solid foundation of over 700 tires, which is the first and very important stage of any earthship home, was accomplished.This summer was the most event filled unique summer that I have ever experienced and will never be forgotten.

The time has once again arrived to "batten down the hatches" in preparation for the coming winter ahead. Even though our home construction is well under way we have to step back from that project in order to be ready for another homesteading travel trailer style winter.

With that being said we began construction upon another one of our wish list projects a wood shed...yeah...our own wee wood shed. It is not quite completed but soon to be with pictures to follow of end result.   In the meantime I am very aware of my mind chatter making reference to Earthship Pavo Natura's huge "to do" list. But the time has arrived to flip off this particular part of my brain and concentrate on new priorities.

It is the beginning of October and we are greeted with cool mornings mostly as well as Indian summer temps. during the days. Having lots to do before the snow flies keeps us busy in the best of ways, fresh air and exercise, natural health and fitness found here for sure.

Another week has arrived heading now towards the weekend so on we go towards creating a warm and safe home in our trailer grateful for each and every day.

More to follow...

PEACE OUT!!! Patty J.




Happy Thanksgiving to all!
