from within:We have been working hard throughout Spring, and now as it is getting so hot we have really only warmed up. We've almost got the community kitchen constructed, and have shower facilities for all. We have water coming from the land now, and believe that now we can finally begin to improve what took us so long to build as our foundation. It is exciting!
We invite everyone to come and see what we have now, because it is expected that in the next month or two, it shall all be different again.
take care, be careful-ha

We are getting ready to build a 25 foot geodesic dome on top of the property. Then we will cover it with Paper Crete for insulation. I am also going to start building an effigy to burn, because it is fun to watch stuff burn.Renewable

What is a Mongolian Ger? It is a style of yurt, that has been used in Mongolia for thousands of years. Temperatures in Mongolia can reach 50 degrees below zero. The wood for the frame was grown on the property. We are using recycled vinyl signs, for the covering. Curently building the paper crete mixer. We have the mix tank, mixer blade, and tow hitch. Stil need the rear axle assembly from a rear wheel drive.
