Were in

The door is finally on and we moved beds in last night. We spent our first night in the yurt. Everyone was busy til bedtime putting thing away in their rooms. We slept ok, we just need to get used to all the loud nature sounds. The kids decided they wanted to get up at 830 and go for a run in the morning. We let them sleep til 9 and they all went for a run even though none of them had any shoes with them. They ran in their bare feet and , cooled down in the stream when they got back, we had pancakes for breakfast and everyone did their own dishes and made their beds before we took off to do laundry for a while. a few things are left in the house that we still need to move , then we just have to get it clean before we can be done with it. Yuck, what a job,
Have a good day love Sandi

Moving in

We are moving into the yurt this week, its not totally done but, good enough to move into. The tile is on the kitchen floor and the door is going up today , a couple bedroom walls are up and the bathroom wall will be going up soon. I have pictures hopefully ill be able to get them on soon. the actual moving part or moving stinks. Weve been getting rid of bags and car loads and truck loads of stuff for over 3 months now, and theres still so much stuff! Getting used to the lighting will be one of the harder challenges at the yurt , i think. Solar lights , oil lamps and battey lights dont give off nearly as much light as the lights we are used to. We are heating water for showers with solar and propane, and buying our drinking and cooking water. We need to buy a portable dvd player still so that we can watch movies once in a while.i suspect well spend more time playing board games, reading, playing outside, and listening to music, than we have been. The next project is to get the rest of the roof finished , a layer of radient barrier., layer of insulation bubble wrap, another layer of radient barrier, and then the final tarp , it will probably take 2 more week to get all the stuff. Were paying for supplies week by week so we have no debt but things have to be done a little at a time. we should be totally done with everything by the 3rd week in october so well probably be having a fall house warming, Falls my favorite season!
love ya  Sandi
