Decagonal Intern Housing Being Constructed

Decent living quarters are an important aspect of hosting interns and our roughly 900 sq ft home doesn’t replace the yurt in the privacy and space it afforded both us and interns. Our first intern, Doug, returned home to New Jersey a few days after the yurt burned down, and plans were quickly hatched up for living space for interns set to start learning in early May.

Having just invested well over a grand building a super sturdy, "permanent," platform for the yurt that we didn't anticipate having to move anymore and starting a farm out of course, we're not exactly overflowing in financial abundance. Hence, we had to break out the creativity bag for making a solid, enjoyable intern space possible quickly.

We are fortunate to live within two miles of a sawmill providing us affordable prices on local wood for the sides and roof of the replacement decagonal intern quarters etched out with a ten-sided copula at its top. The platform has already been rebuilt and building of the main structure will begin this week.

When the yurt burned down we lost the furnishings that went along with it. If anyone extras of the following or were planning of downsizing with any of the following, we are ready recipients.

2 Twin Mattresses and frames if possible                                   Bedding                                                         Kitchen sink                                                                                           Hot plates
Refrigerator - dorm size or larger                                                Cutting Board
Small sofa or reading chair                                                             Toaster Oven
Small kitchen table with chairs                                                    Large area rugs or carpeting
Small clothes dressers                                                                  

Thanks for all your encouragement along this journey!
