At the end of June, while "Clay and Straw" finished a project in Central Texas, we added the inside 2x4's to make the "toe-up" for the bales to sit on, built the stairs on the south side of the house and a ramp on the north side, to move plaster up onto the porch. Pea gravel
was delivered for the toe-up, an electrician and plumber were hired and Altumaxis, my solar panel provider, was notified the metal roof would be going on in mid-July.
