Cabin fever in colder climates sucks. Anything that promotes getting out and enjoying the snow is good too. I am learning about masonry stoves and [...]]]></description>

Good morning.
did you have a good sleep? Ours was about a 6 out of ten. Which means I actually slept&#8230;a bit. Remember that drawing I did way back when Marcel was little? I was so frustrated that I couldn&#8217;t find people that I could relate to with the whole attachment parenting thing. I started drawing  [...]]]></description>

so, I was right. There was a little burn out going on. Marcel woke up with a runny nose, and a cough. Luckily we are staying in a house in Courtenay where we can just vegetate for the day, and let the little guy rest up. So, thats just what we did.

Now down to the nitty gritty. 
This is a cob outhouse. I really want to learn more about the logistics of composting toilets. At Rivendell there are two. 
The one in the picture is a cob structure that has a humanure composting toilet inside. It is yet to be finished and that is why there is a [...]]]></description>

Oh, yes, there is yet another amazing building here at Rivendell. This is a mongolian yurt, that has been made semi-permanent with a beautiful hard wood floor, and wood foundation.
And yes, I was lucky enough to have my paintings hang in this amazing space.

We visited O.U.R. eco village today. The village is a learning center for sustainable living.
I was excited to go here, because I have yet to find many other places where this type of learning is shared in a formal way. As you know I have an interest in education as well as architecture.
We arrived at [...]]]></description>

Well. I  have such a precious gift to share with you.  I don&#8217;t know how to present it. This building,  is a labour of love. It is a living, breathing example of community building, light clay construction, japanese timber frame, heart and soul.
