Getting things going again

Activity has been stalled for a while since these pictures were taken.  We did get the well in before the end of last year though.

I can hardly believe that I’m really going to be able to live in the middle of all this.

Small House Journal/Medicine Wheel

Amazing that the medicine wheel I constructed with friends and family is still there after all these years.  Small but special.

For information on medicine wheels I recommend The Medicine Wheel:Earth Astrology by Sun Bear and Wabun.  My copy was printed in 1980 by Prentice-Hall.  It’s still in print.  Ask about it at your local independent bookstore.

Building Supplies

I made a stop at the Habitat for Humanity store in Pittsboro the other day.  They have two stores on 64 W.  One has furniture and housewares, the other has building supplies and appliances. That’s the one I headed for.

Great fun wandering through looking at lots of doors and windows and bins of cabinet hardware and all manner of things.

I was told that they always get plenty of windows, some brand new or only very slightly used.  That could save a lot of money because I plan on having as many windows as I can squeeze in and still have some wall left.  I’ll be haunting that place once the time is right.

Flagging the site

Kerry helps put the flags in place to mark out the proposed house site.

Next step today is to go to Environmental Health in Pittsboro to submit my Improvement Permit application.  I had to draw a site plan.  Did the best I could, hope it’s enough.
