Finishing Up The Exterior
The past few days things have changed considerably. We got the exterior wall layers up on Saturday. It’s so nice to see the coloured canvas up again. Love this blue! Yesterday we mobilized the kids and moved a bunch of stuff into the Yurt. No, we aren’t moving in yet. There is still a lot…

Cutting down the hill.
Lately the days haven’t been all that eventful. We’ve partially cleaned out the container to make it easier for us to access the yurt in the back. Pete found J’s drone. This led to all sorts of experimental flights with the Osmo camera mounted on it (Video footage of the property from the sky will…

Battery Packs Arrived
Greeting everyone! Since my last post, work on the property hasn’t been very exciting. Pete has been cutting the trees and the kids and I have been piling and burning the brush. It’s been pretty tricky to get the fire started these days. This week we’ve had 2 days that were workable, the rest have…
