Thanks, the lack of mud makes just a huge difference, we are hoping to put in some track this summer as well in order to not have to suffer another winter of knee deep mud. we are hoping to get the construction done this summer and be able to stay in it. there will be alot of work still after the construction is done but at least we will have nice place to stay while we are there working on it. it has been alot of work and i could have made the build alot faster and easier by just doing load bearing straw bales but i wanted to use lots of different teckniques in order to learn lots for when we build a more perminant and better quality building. the next project will be a workshop dug in to the hillside on two levels. we have a design made already so I'm keen to get this place done move and start a new bigger project. of course still from natural materials and with a low visual impact on the land.
