BUILDING DAY 2

Yesterday the house structure seemed to go up so quickly. Today projects moved at a much slower pace as the jobs are smaller and more detailed. The main job for today was to work on the structure for our oven to sit in. This is quite a job and will continue for days to come.

David spent pretty much all morning getting the poles into the ground and sized up for the entire stove structure. I joined him at lunch and used twine to tie all the poles in place. We then put a piece of plastic down and filled it with 3 inches of dirt. This will prevent the stove from burning the poles below, definately a must! Then we put the stove on top and are currently working on a layer of clay that will cover a good portion of the stove.

Nice packed dirt, David jumped on it just to be sure it was good and packed


There's our beautiful oven :)


David made a fire for us and we roasted hot dogs for dinner!


Here you can see where I started putting on the layer of clay
