The Baling Continues...

The baling continues - that is, the building of the walls out of straw bales. While the crew has been working away at this monumentous task, we have been visiting the site on the weekend to stain the windows. The windows have now been installed, and we are staining them a dark brown colour (actually called 'red mahogany'). It is a very slow, and very hot process. The tarps around the house do a great job keeping the rain out, but they also keep the heat in.

Here is a picture of the latest progress building the walls on the 2nd floor:


Here is a picture of the completed roof (without soffit or facia yet):

And here are some pictures of the windows:
