Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Bunk Beds

Before. The oldest 5 and I painted beds for J3 and G.  
After. 
In 
Thanks for the picture L :) 

Straw Bale Hallway

The view from the outside, beware construction zone ahead! 


Inside the zone, looking towards the back door. Straw bale walls are up and ready for stucco! Lights are also up :) 


Looking back towards the living area. The sheet keeps the mess down. Putting up and working with bales inside is very messy and dusty. 


Two days of stuccoing later! 



Both sides of the hallway walls are done the first coat of stucco. Now on to the bedrooms! We are hoping to get the first and second or brown coat done in the next week or so :) I'll keep you posted. 


BLAST FROM THE PAST....Boys Room

So this was ages ago. Papa was stuccoing in the boys room and the oldest four kids were sleeping in the living room. The last picture shows a soft spot in the wall and his attempt to fix it. It didn't work and it's a spot he'll fix this year when he starts stuccoing again. These pictures were taken in the curing process which is why the walls are so dark in color. They are a much lighter gray now.
