Sheep help keep the pastures open. |
Well it has been a little bumpy here the past week. While the weather in Paradise has been great, my brother and I discovered we have differing visions of the yurt project. This is his farm. Rambling, with sheep and chickens and wild pigs. I am an invited guest. But we aren't mirror images: we differ in many ways. It came to some heated words.
And I must say I don't do confrontation well. I try to avoid it. So the conflict came in 3 phases:
1. We had a heated argument (details unimportant to you). Just know that it was unpleasant.2. We took a couple days off then talked more civilly and "made-up".
3. Then we talked again and we got the issues ironed out, for the most part, and now it's back underway. (A truck load of stone arrives tomorrow AM)
A day at the beach. |
In the process, I learned a few things, but perhaps those will appear in my writing blog...ah siblings!
News! I have finished digging holes, at least for the yurt. 19 in all.
More good news, the stone arrived on time. The bad news, it needs to be wheel-barrowed 700 ft, all 4 tons.
A gift from Pele; 4 tons of rock. |
Here's a drawing of the deck plan. The small circles represent where the holes were dug for the piers.
