construction

here's the interior of the timber frame and straw bale structure i'm working on in vermont. with the roof on, the walls up and the windows soon to be installed, it's taking shape and it feels great! i've helped instruct about a hundred volunteers over the summer in varioius techniques from timber framing to packing mud plaster onto straw. i've come to think of teaching as learning and find that i learn as much as anyone while teaching. the act of packaging my knowledge into simple instructions somehow opens my mind. with all the physical work over summer i'm in good shape and that feels great, too.
