Gettin' stuff done.

Future bathroom:

Diggin'

Wife Chillin'

Botanical cell to be buried: 

This will eventually be home to apple trees, bamboo or whatever else we can cultivate.

Septic pit covered.

In the course of digging, we had to do something with all that dirt, so we built up the berm:

This is partially to shield us from the wind...

but more importantly....

for privacy:

As you can see, we've got A LOT of work still to do, but at least you can see progress even from a mile away.  The goal is to not be able to see us out there at all.  Unless you know we're there : )

Eventually the berm will completely encircle the entire "Domestead", about 200' of earthbags, 5' tall surrounding all the buildings / gardens in the center of the property.

Next week: Walls.
