More Yurt







We help neighbors in Taos to raise their yurt

Leda and Christian are our new vegan neighbors (ring a bell anyone?) They built a garage/workshop first three years ago and this year they built a deck and platform for their Colorado Yurt. Yesterday we finished the raising of the structure and what is left is the finishing. Follow the pictures to see the process........

We have occupied the earthship!!

Slowly we are furnishing our
 little home. We need to find a dropleaf table and three more ladder back chairs we can paint, a couple new rugs and some lighting for reading and we will be set. We have had loads of fun shopping in the second hand places wherever we go. With some imagination we have turned someone else's trash into our treasure!!
