Amy. I can smell and taste your mountain home (having visited) as you write, as autumn goes to sleep, feeling winter creeping up. Such a realistic sensation of rotation of the seasons. You have a very special home on this earth and are such an inspiration to show others how to appreciate what is provided naturally and about as honestly as it can be.

Loving you telling how it is on the mountain. Living the same dream, only at a different location.

Nice beams! that will stand some weight! What did you apply on them to keep from rotting in the ground?

What will you (eventually) use to heat the "water room" with?

Good score on the yard art, look forward to the build of the '81

Thanks! Maybe there will be a hot tub in my future.. 😍 They have a polyurethane coating - the original footings were made of tamarack and showed no signs of rot after two years so, it’s a bit of an experiment!

The new front room will be open to the rest of my house, my oversized wood stove will finally be put to work. It’ll take some time to thaw them out and we may try using a small circulating heater if it’s taking too long.

Thanks again! It’ll be a while for the ‘81 but it’ll be awesome

Also congratulations on creating meals entirely from the land, yours and your neighbour's. Great accomplishment!

I look forward to doing the same. It's a lot of work but it's so worth it!

My girlfriend keeps mentioning a hot tub so I guess that will be in my future too 😆

Good luck with the experiment(s) and hope the winter is not too harsh!
