Rebuilding after the Fire
It seems that every waking moment is dedicated to our farm endeavor. The wet spring has kept us out of the fields early on, which has afforded Jacob the time to rebuild intern living quarters after a fire in mid-March destroyed the yurt we had built a few years back and had planned to use for that purpose. It’s almost mid-May and we’re putting the finishing touches on the new ten-sided home. Nothing fancy, nothing super ecological, just something that could be built quickly with supplies that we could get ahold of quickly. Here’s a few pics taken over the past two weeks of work.
The well insulated platform...
The inside is subdivided into three lower level bedrooms. The ten sided ring seen to the right will be the base of the cupula at the top of the structure. The cupula will not be constructed initially.
The roof is domed in a similar fashion to the yurt's.
A view from inside. A loft rests above the bedrooms with a dormer window and peaked roof for extra space.
It's coming together...
The roof shingled with wood from the local sawmill.
