J- and S-patti's tent. Cynthia isn't much of a camper, and slept in Lolly's trailer with her two cats.
We set up this tent to protect the dining area.
Lolly dug a latrine for us. Not quite deep enough as it turned out.
The foundation was already in place when we arrived. First job was to clear the rocks and smooth the inside.

Jpatti clearing the foundation. The electrical and plumbing connections come up on the left. The piers in the middle will support the floor girder.
View of the electrical and water lines leading to the house. We needed Duke the backhoe guy to bury this before we could finish the house. He didn't show up for several days, leading to much panic.
Willow applies the metal termite barrier.
Willow and Noel bolt down the floor sill. (is that what it's called?)

We're now ready to start laying out the floor joists.
We only managed to get half the floor joists done by the end of the first day
