Hi Nicole! My husband took two workshops to help prepare us for when we moved to our (raw) land a few years ago: a cob building workshop and a weekend with you 🙂

We're pretty close to done: we need to grout the tiles and set up the wood stove (stovepipe hole into the ceiling/roof). We're hoping to settle in before Christmas.

I tried Steemit in 2017-18. What an epic fail.

I tried mastadon in 2022. Yuck.

Nostr is the first winner that keeps winning.

I promised this ages ago! Some photos of our straw/mud house build.

Concrete pad, brick stem wall, planning out windows (from a Craigslist ad, old nearby barn)

partway through straw/mudslip fill

sand/lime plaster

finished tiling today

Hate on edit as much as you want. I love being in the blissful ignorance that I've edited my mistakes and some of you will be able to see the corrections 😂

Good morning nostr, i'm having my coffee and watching Daisy warm her skinny little body in front of the woodstove. She chills easily. So we'll be having some family come over today, minus one of the members that are in a years-long fight. So things should go smoothly, everyone else gets along. I think i'll make a big pot of stew for lunch, along with some sourdough bread that i started yesterday. Then maybe pork ribs for dinner later, we'll see. Someone said they would bring tamales. My mother used to make tamales, and since she passed i've never had any other tamales that were up to her standards. But i'll try one maybe. Anyway, yall have a great saturday, enjoy your coffee, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #grownostr #tamales

We traveled to be with family yesterday, so it was a long day, but we had a good time. But sarurday we have other family coming here, so i'm not done yet.

Holiday rush is on.😊

Good morning nostr, have a great Tuesday. This week is crazy busy for me, so not much time for my nostr scrolling. Enjoy your day. #coffeechain

Are you Mother Nature?

We’re getting ready to go on our first deer hunt. Hoping to bring some meat home to stock up the freezers for the winter.

Hope you have a successful 3 things day!

Got our 1st snow today, it’s not going to stick, but it’s so pretty falling
