Lots o' Progress

There has been A LOT of progress since my last post! First, today we FINISHED our rammed earth walls! hurray! It has been a love/hate relationship doing rammed earth...mostly love though. We poured our last bond beam today and then we can finally retire ALL formwork. Now all hands are on deck for framing as we start the last month of the semester. The first bedroom is coming together! We have put up the north wall of the room and hung the joists and nailed in the OSB on the roof. The east wall is next to get tackled and we have begun putting it together. Everyone is putting in a lot of effort and even though the sun is setting sooner we are up till dusk and here till 6pm!
