I got some tin up on the back wall today...
I like how it looks. Now we can complete the last straw bale wall...
The backdoor. Even has a workable doorknob now...
And the front door is fully operational. A doorknob and additional lock adds non-security..
And we have our wood stove. The only problem is my piping is the wrong size (used)...got to get a few more parts before that will go in. Don't worry...I have a Fellah helping me with this. Don't want to build the place--just to have it burn down!
Now the frustrating part. I dropped a bit of tin which severed the water line into the house. Off to the hardware store...only to find this is PVC c pipe. My fittings were the wrong size! So we will haul water for the evening. Or maybe a tad longer...
You gotta expect a few challenges now and then...

Wow!! You have definitely come a long way since summer! You continue to inspire and put my little suburban hovel to shame ;) I am impressed with the tin you were able to acquire. Deconstruction is one of the most useful and worthy businesses I can imagine in these times.
Hi Annie,
Thanks for the visit! The Deconstruction Guy said that his business continues to do well--despite the fact that nearly all other construction gigs are hurting. And for good reason: The tin I bought is about half the price (and five times the quality) of new stuff. Not to mention the benefits of not having to have new metal mined. Fossil fuels burned to smelt the tine, etc. etc.
Cheers!
