Day 3, total person hours worked this year 46.
(Forgot to shoot Day 2.)
The junky looking stuff on the left is actually junk, filling up our stairway to the third floor bedroom with paint cans and plastic bottles.
The arch on the left is the first in a three across the back (east) wall.

Here's the photo from Day One of Noble and I working on our dwelling here in Marathon Texas. I'll try to post the day by day shots from the same point so you can see the place going up. We're having fun.

Noble and I Building a Dwelling

Hi Ya Friends. It's Alaine, trying to blog for the first time ever.
We figured we'd log our progress as Noble Baker and I are building a joint out of papercrete (recycled paper mixed with Portland cement, clay, sand, wata, volcanic rockcitos, and sometimes recycled Styrofoam.) We have been taking a photo of our day-by-day progress and logging the total person-hours it takes to build the place. Last year (2008) we worked for 11 days and worked 165 hours total. Here--I post what we accomplished in our building project after one day's work, last year May 28. Once I figure this out, I can post more shots.
