Last row, now were having fun.

I am fundamentally lazy. That is not a bad thing. It has made me very creative. Not in the slothful sense but rather in being mechanically inventive and coming up with the most efficient way to accomplish a task. Well, let me share with you what I've learned about pounding tires.

After ten rows of pounding, shoveling, schlepping, sweating followed by more of the same, I have concluded that the best way to pound tires is to schlep, shovel, pound and sweat. I wish I had better news......I don't.

Ten rows up and still wondering whether or not I have completely lost my mind.  I don't know if I want to thank Michael Reynolds (creator of the earthshp) or track him down and give him a wedgie.

The backfill is an ongoing process.  Every three or four rows we backfill to add support as well as have a place to stand.

Can you see where concrete "L" blocks have been poured to tie the walls together?

This is local flagstone, from our property, set in a morter mixture.  We would need to spend money on cement and lime.

This is a mixture of straw, sand and clay, mixed with water.  The  mixture is left to dry and then coated with several coats of linseed oil.
