Gary and Lisa drove down from Ohio to deliver "skins" for the main cabin. These logs will be used on the exterior and interior with insulation between the layers. The old logs are meticulously milled to maintain the corners. It was such a joy to meet people who are now friends and an integral part of the project. Our day was spent walking through the structures, dreaming, planning, discussing, and envisioning spaces as they will one day become. David came and consulted on the windows. Connie joined us as the lighting expert, attempting to illuminate the gorgeous, but dark interior with as little wattage as possible. Ed wowed us with his solar energy expertise. Yes, you read that correctly, the energy question has been settled; we'll be solar powered! Thankfully that decision has been made and we can now move forward.
Craig and Janet dropped off the first two doors they crafted for the Writer's Cabin. They made a double dutch front door of old oak and an interior door out of reclaimed hemlock. Both are beautiful! It was a wonderfully productive day and a worthy addition to the process.
The day was made complete as Mike's crew made such a racket yelling for "all y'all come down and see"...we found they had encountered three massive, grizzly rattlers in a wood pile. Two were snuffed out, but the biggest guy slithered off to escape humans for a bit longer.
Shudder...
