Vermont house is coming along! We made a nice hearth with pigmented cement on rockwool (& metal lath in btwn).
9” of #rockwool insulation board and strapping- almost ready for the pine siding!
🍂working on this Linen jumper detail (back pocket)- maybe acorn & sticks on the front pockets?
Using @475.supply #adhero air-barrier, vapor-open membrane on the outside sheathing, then insulating with 9” of rockwool board on top and a final layer of sheathing on top of that! This is a super-super insulated house (also 3-4” blown cellulose on the inside!)
We’ll be making these super simple sandals at the upcoming #groundnutgathering in Montgomery, MA this October! Lots of other great workshops. See @leapfrogprograms for more info and to register even just for one of the days! Exceptional humans sharing ancestral skills ♥️🌻 #huaraches #handmadesandals #leathersolesandals
My girl in her new home 🥰 Just getting the #rockwoolinsulation insulation on the roof with #mento3000 (vapor permeable, air barrier) yesterday and today metal roofing is going on! It’s been amazing and exhausting but just so wonderful. And she’s gonna have a home at the end! (Edie: pics are slightly out of order 🤪) #vermontlife

Making roof truss number one! And cut 120 2x4 studs for the walls. Two boxes of scrap wood from all those studs to use in the cookstove. Foundation is ready for building on! All very exciting. River swims, a little sewing and newly waterproofed work shoes! #sogratefulforthislife #vermont
Made myself some work shoes, closed toe for the summer building project. Sewed on car rides to and from VT (Keith was driving lol) and on the bench outside the yurt. I wanted to see if this stiffer oil tan leather would work well for chukkas. Got a blister the first day so 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🩹 but I like em and they’ll hold up and protect me from the low grassy brambles on the land. Watched Milo (doggo) wait very patiently for a chipmunk 🐿 to come down the tree the WHOLE entire day (last pic). She never did catch it of course 😂
Lilac season 💜

More planting, more #gardenart . Early morning projects before heading to Vermont 🌱🪴☘️🌿🪴
