Bring me the work horse!

Today was a very excellent day for some work. It started off a little rainy but ended up being one of the best days in months to be able to play outside. Yesterday Derik and Tyler got the door frame up and finished, using a few maple saplings and some dogwood to weave. This morning we gathered more dogwood because the Willow we had been planing to use for the chimney must have floated away out into lake Independence. Once the gathering was finished we headed out for the hut. We made short work of the chimney and digging the post holes for the second wall. Once the posts were in and settled it was time for more gathering, this time we were looking for more maple saplings to weave the poles together. Once we had about a foot of the second wall ready we were able to add the first layer of mud to the mud hut! It was a very exciting weekend and very productive!
