We’re still optimistic that a mural can be applied to that north wall.
This array has 1 empty row for PV expansion.
Rydall Construction has history with us. And you need to give them your business. Ask me about it!
The buried cistern will supplement our SLOW refill well.
Its final colour may complement the house.
Somewhere here… a small greenhouse will be placed.
Sawmill Structures.
As long as one doesn’t defeat the safety interlocks, it’s a safe system.
Both entrances will have glass doors. To prevent feline escape.
These walls will remain unfinished (for now).
The acoustics are already changing!
The morning light casts interesting shadows.
The morning light caught my attention.
Some rough estimations for our future garage.
It’ll need to be wide enough to accommodate 2 vehicles.
How will this affect visitor parking?
The structure will need to be deep enough to allow basic machine repairs.
Eventually, guests will enter a foyer (behind the blue bin). An annex will be built!
#1 will be a fixed array (for now). #2 is a grease-trap. #3 has an alarmed pump to shoot the sh*t into a settling tank (and leech field).
Soil building is best done FAR AWAY from the main home. Reason: big ding dongs visit & gnaw on the game cameras.

With the drywall roughed in (with taping and finishing-painting later), our living space may very well be available before the frost.

Cory Rydall suggested our house location. I wanted put the septic system uphill from it. He listened attentively and suggested another (less silly) option, and he pushed in our driveway. And he found someone to install our green gate (using repurposed telephone poles). I made little tarpaper hats 🎩 for the posts!
