By the end of day 12 we had walls all around, doors and windows in, ceiling finished and were using the space!! Here is the top of the tall wall. It's bowing in a bit and we'll have to fix it before we plaster but for now it's fine! It got VERY cold here after this and neither of us want to freeze while we fix a crooked wall.
The rest of the tall wall. That window and door go into the trailer.
Papa lighting the very 1st fire! The stove will not be were it is forever. But with straw walls not being plastered just yet we wanted it in the middle of the room. There is about 5 feet all around the stove. We've been using it for a couple weeks now and have had no problems with it. The 1st night we checked it several times and let the new pipe stink up the outdoors until it was seasoned a bit. That white sink is the milk sink, the table is where the machine stuff is stored. The white hose is what we wash up with, it is always warm as Papa has connected it to the washer's hot and cold and mixed them together in the hose. Very nice!
Here is the front of the room. Washer and dryer to the right. I use the wash hose to fill the washer and the drain is already working. It looks much more lived in now :) Those cupboards on the left side are no longer inside and there is the table from the living room there, which we set up to cut and wrap a pig. There is room for the electric meat saw and the table in the middle of the room! Very nice for butchering! There is also plastic on the outside which helps a lot with odd drafts. We did not get to stuff the holes completely as we were pressed for time.
