Starting and finishing things before the first guests arrived (like this solar shower - the 14 tons of gravel in the background took most of the time, the hole goes down 60 cm with a 1% gradient from right to left)...
And starting things that must be finished before the end of the month (like this 18' 4" yurt platform, aka Platform 5, aka Mud Henge - which will have a yurt on it with guests in it this time in four weeks)...
So excuse me for not blogging much. Come July, we're going to rest for a day or so. Then I'm going to write a book, and make a road, and some rabbits runs, and a gazebo...

A whole day!!! Alex, the sky will fall in .....
Seriously, it looks like you're achieving brilliantly (or deedily, as a friend of mine puts it, though it's a word I'd never heard of before). And I love the shower! Hope your guests deserve you ....

Oh. Should have said - the deleted comment was me, because I realised I'd forgotten a bit and stupid Blogger doesn't let you edit :-(
Don't worry Kalba. It makes it lok like I've got load of comments! And thanks for commenting...
Wait until you see the shower when it's finished - the snail-shell cubicle will be ready before we open next year.
The bannister looks really lovely. What wood did you use as it might have sparked some creative ideas here?

Hi Sarah! The big uprights are False Acacia buried 50cm in the ground - it's an amazing hard wood that will last and last. All the rest is chestnut, except one horizontal bit across the middle which is pine, but is only staying there for a year until we get hold of a recycled plastic slide from Ingerlernd (can't find them here).
We used a shaving horse and draw knife to shape the ends of the small uprights - two of the most useful and enjoyable tools in the world. Good luck with your project and feel free to post a link when you've finished...
