Last Weekend was LONG

Since it is Friday and Alex's parents are coming up again this weekend to help with yurt construction I figured I better post last weekends photos.  If anyone ever tells you that making a yurt is easy or fun they are lying...  Last weekend was long and exhausting and I spent most of this week catching up on sleep and work that I should have done over the weekend.  Anyway, as for photos here it goes!

Completely unrelated to Yurt Building. 
This is me with our first Zucchini

Joanne bright eyed and bushy tailed ripping out a seam that
I messed up!

Me not so bright eyed trying to decide if I should go crazy
and kill the fabric...

Shows our setup after we relocated outside to prevent
dying of heat exhaustion inside the greenhouse

Joanne taking a break to stretch her back and Trigo
doing what she does best, napping under foot.

Alex manhandling the fabric out of the supply cart

Half of our wall is now completed. That is 30 feet of fabric
it weighs about 25 pounds right now.

Joanne is very happy with our accomplishment!



Zeus was so hot in his fur coat he spent the whole day under
the outdoor kitchen only sticking his
head out for food and water

The first part of Alex's center ring.  Since this photo he
has finished all the layers and laminated them together.

 Alex has also figured out that the rafters in our yurt will be Cedar that Scott and he will be harvesting from a neighbors property.  The neighbor is going to charge us 5 dollars per 9 foot length regardless of the width of the tree.  This is an amazing deal and we are super lucky that there is enough for the fence that Scott and Alex are building as well as the rafters for the yurt.

If anyone is interested in coming out to help us build a deck I would greatly appreciate it.  The sooner that Alex and I get this yurt done the less chance that I am going to go completely ape shit on everyone at Moose Pond.  I love them but woah.  More photos after this weekends adventure with the industrial sewing machine.
