Ordinary Life

 

 Between big house-building events, the little things had to get done, and we set up a sort-of-ordinary life in the shell of the house. Making lunch in the cold, with no sink and the wind flapping the house-wrap "windows" was an experience!

The formerly rained-on structure was getting a chance to dry out on sunny winter days, and smelled like wet sawdust and OSB. We were quite worried about it; our goal was to have a mold-free house. Thankfully those very large window-holes let in lots of dry desert air.

When building a house is NOT your full-time job, things go pretty slow at times. Sunny weekends were usually taken up trying to make progress on the house, rather than doing something more social or fun.

 

As homeschoolers, there's always Monday! A week-day hike or outing to explore the local scenery made sure I didn't have a handful of "Jack-a-dull-boys" on my hands!
