Today was the last day for me at OGM this month, it's time to go back to California for awhile. Two of our young hermits are going into full time retreat next week, while one will continue working with Roger during the building season. Here's a photo of the young men at site #2, for their mothers to see - they are indeed healthy, whole and apparently happy. I am especially keen to convey to their mothers that these fellows are being well looked after. Mothers are extraordinarily important.
Terran and I affixed the foundation posts and girders, built the joist frame, installed splash guard, rat wire, insulation and decking of cabin #2. We managed to put one wall up. At the same time Roger, Brendon and Mischa were working on weather barrier and start of roofing of #1. One window was installed and that unit will be dried in shortly.
The weather changed again - a new front blew in with a lot of wind. The tall Douglas Fir tree over #2 produced a continuous litter of bark and small branches. Mischa was hit by a small branch at site #1, and a 100 foot Aspen was knocked down across the road near our neighbor's driveway.
This wind also carries me away from OGM, back to work and the SF Bay Area and my usual sedentary life, long enough for my blisters to heal before I return for more OGM construction fun.
Blessings to all!
At the end of the work day we took a group photo of the 5 workers - Mischa, Terran, Brendon, Roger and Brian.
