Though the semester has ended, and many of the people involved have moved on and are no longer able to help, at least on a regular basis, work continues on the project.
Today the sonotubes were cut, the rafters were taken down, and the wood outside got organized. Its slow but steady. Once we can get the batter boards set this weekend, we will be able to dig the holes for the sonotubes. Then right after that is done we will be able to pour the concrete. Once the concrete is poured and has cured, we will be ready for the barn raising.
Its so close once could taste it, but dont go licking our shelter.

The Apple Tree
Sorry we have been away for a while but we have been so busy and pictures are on the way! The apple tree above inspired many of our design decisions. As a class we decided this would be a great tree to congregate under on nice days. The Apple Tree combined with the open air shed create an implied courtyard, giving students and faculty ample space to make the most out of their living-learning experience on Blackburn Farm.
