It got into the 20s on the Fahrenheit scale, so I moved development operations into the greenhouse. We have a good stove in there. We collected some black locust firewood from a neighbor in the meantime:
On sunny days like today, the greenhouse is in the 80s inside. It feels like stepping right into summer. Generator, welder, tools, and CEB are now there. I just have to scrape up some semi-frozen soil from the outside, and see if we could tamp it into a structural brick…
Hey Marchin,
This is Brittney’s brother, Alex. Brittany showed me this website and it is cool!
I like all of the photos and infomation. Also, I thought that the picture of chopping down the forest was pretty cool.
