Yesterday, we turned on the lights at Lama Chukyi's cabin. It was a very proud day, especially for Brian who did all of the solar installation, and Scott who did all of the interior wiring.
Then today, Brian got the house water working. Now we just need to hook up the plumbing inside and we should be set!
Oh, the wacky things we (we being Scott) had to do to install a tub surround in a straw bale.
Scott built the frame using the foundation form boards that he had to cut down and trim to go around straps and all kinds of fun stuff. Then Cortney and Orit stuffed it with mud.
Next comes the wonderboard and the plumbing in the wall...Brian got nominated to become the plumber for this job.
Suzanne came and helped prepare the bathroom walls so that the tub surround could go into place.
...and, here is the finished product!
Becky's gorgeous work on the altar.
And then, the sprayer!
Brian will have to upload pictures at some point of the actual spraying process, because I was too tired and covered in mud from head to toe to touch a camera, but the sprayer saved us 2 weeks time. We got 2-5 inches of mud on the interior of the cabin in about 7 work days.
But although it was quite a mess at the end of each day, the walls turned out really nice.
Then, the finish floor in the kitchen, so that we can install the kitchen cabinets/sink.
