Once again, we've been working hard and I haven't updated the blog in awhile. When I don't get to it Sunday night, I end up starting a new project throughout the week and think "I'll update it after this project so I can include it in the posting"... so here's a month's worth of our earthship projects!
|
giving "Sustainable Cortland" a tour |
|
I installed the star lamp my mom got for us |
|
we decided to stain the entire dining room/kitchen dark |
|
I raised our bed up |
|
and added this handy shelf since the wall slants backwards |
|
we started framing out a closet in the back hallway |
|
I polished up the "circle floor" back airlock |
|
Chad's been working on the greenhouse ceiling |
|
airlock bottle art |
|
I cemented around the orange tree and built a little ledge on the far end so we can walk on that to access the greywater pump |
|
I built a little mudroom coatrack thing out of extra wood and scraps |
|
the finished product! |
|
sunrise bottle light at the eastern doorway |
|
before: last coat on the greenhouse planter cell tire wall |
|
after: brown concrete! (We bought a concrete pigment that mixes into the mud from Direct Colors Inc.) |
|
our beautiful focal point with the right sun angle to shine straight through it! |
|
baby oranges! |
|
snap peas |
|
summer squash |
|
strawberry blossom |
|
tomatoes |
|
baby lemon |
|
avocado tree covered in buds |
|
more strawberries |
|
we have 3 large vents in the greenhouse to let out the rising hot air |
|
they are held down by ropes, and when we release the rope... |
|
the vents are counterweighted on the roof and open |
|
looking back into the 100-foot greenhouse |
|
someone got outside! our indoor cat Darin loved the sunny grass! Sorry darwin... |
|
Chad's been working on an outdoor vegetable garden |
|
the orchard and chickens |
|
peach tree blossoms |
