Lintels! And links, and a few share requests.

Yes, the lintels are going in! 

They were scrambling to beat the rain and didn't quite make it, but they made a lot of progress. As of an hour into the work this morning, we're back to a three-man crew again, and they were at it hard all day.

Here's a close-up of the work; they chip away at the adobe with hatchets to fit everything in closely. It looks wild and careless, but it's actually precision work by guys with long experience who are skilled enough to do it freehand.

Speaking of doing things freehand, my warrior woman and spirit sister kishik has a diary up for us at the GOS right now, and she's featuring a pair of earrings that she commissioned from Wings. Please go T&R the diary and share all the links, because she's included in it all the ways to help support our effort to have a house again after almost six years without a real one.

More precision work. That's the window of what will be our utility room: water heater, washer, dryer (when we replace our old one that just died a few weeks ago), and shelving. I'm finally going to have natural light everywhere again. 

They'll be working all next week, instead of the usual three days. Why? Because up next is the bond beam, the spiral support posts, and the vigas. And fall is not looming; it's here. Temps in the high 30s at night, 42-43 when I get up in the morning, trees already yellowing fast. it's going to be an early winter, and we need to beat the weather.

So please go share the links to our YouCaring page via the widgets on it, especially via the code from the purple box at the lower right-hand corner:

Please also share the link to Wings's site, which is our source of income for both daily expenses and the construction, too. Besides, he has a fabulous new masterwork up, just completed today.

Much gratitude to everyone who has given us a hand thus far. We are both struggling to gain our footing after the events of last weekend, and I'm way, way behind on literally EVERYTHING, but I'm working to get there, believe me.
