Simon Brooke<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> we're sitting here round the stove, drinking tea from water heated on it, looking around and thinking "we did this". It's a good feeling.Of course the house is not finished, but the rest can be done out of the weather.

Simon BrookeWhere we're up to with the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>.The walls have yet to be rendered, but it's habitable!

Simon BrookeProgress on the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> over the past 36 hours. We have windows!

Simon BrookeThe front of the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> is really taking shape now!

Simon BrookeThe <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> now has a stove – and a chimney!

Simon BrookeRebuilding the bale wall that was blown out in the winter storms. This time we're tying the bales into sturdy wooden structure. There's still a problem to be solved in achieving a good seal between the bales and the roof.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>

Simon BrookeMy next job is to try to dig out the water pipe up at the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> site. We laid in 150 metres of pipe to get water up there, marked where the end of the trench was, ran over the marker with a Land Rover, and now we can't find it.Bother.

Strum25, Church St, Melksham The Blue Plaque identifies this as The Round House - related to Melksham's wool industry. Another sign identifies it as Melksham's Community Larder - a food bank. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Me" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Me</a>;ksham <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RoundHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoundHouse</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/CommunityLarder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityLarder</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/foodbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foodbank</a>

DezoitoDon't let those watchful "eye" windows deter you from visiting the Casa Payán en Silvia, Colombia. It's a living symbol of the Guambiano (Misak) indigenous cultural resilience. It serves as both a museum for the tourists and a place of meeting and teaching for the indigenous people. Its rounded form echoes the cyclical worldview of the Misak people. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Guambiano?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guambiano</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Misak?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Misak</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Coconuco?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coconuco</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Cauca?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cauca</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Colombia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colombia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SouthAmerica?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthAmerica</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/indigenous?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/native?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#native</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/culture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/culturalPreservation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culturalPreservation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/museum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#museum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/traditionalKnowledge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#traditionalKnowledge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/culturalCentre?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culturalCentre</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/roundhouse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/education?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/community?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/indigenousArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigenousArt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fotografia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fotografia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/foto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/natureza?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#natureza</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturaleza?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturaleza</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/travel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arte?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arte</a>

Simon BrookeThis was the state of the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> when we got up there this morning. It looks an awful lot worse than it is. We got all the bales under cover within an hour. The main structure, and the roof, are fine. None of the windows were damaged, no bales were lost. It could have been far worse.A caravan which a friend lives in was hit by a falling tree and is badly damaged.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StormEowyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StormEowyn</a>

Simon BrookeThe last couple of days I've been sawing weather boarding and decking for the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>. For a lot of that time I have had help, but this afternoon I haven't, so I've been experimenting with new ways of getting logs onto the bed of the mill with only the help of The Little Tractor That Can.

Simon Brooke<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> We managed to get a few more hours in this afternoon, and that's the stud wall sheeted with oriented strand board. It will get waney edged weatherboarding over this, but that's for another day.

Simon BrookeThe framing of the stud wall got finished by torchlight this evening. Today was the last day we could do serious work on the structure until the New Year, because Lucy has important matters to attend to elsewhere. So we'll now just sheet this over for protection from the weather, for now. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>

Simon BrookeThis is the carpenter's equivalent of editing code on the production server. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>

Pollinators<a href="https://mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@simon_brooke</a>. The roundhouse wall construction went well. The space is cozy right away. The extra bales will be many good things too. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/strawbalebuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strawbalebuild</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a>

Simon Brooke<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/roundhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundhouse</a> and we have walls! The gaps above the big windows need filling, the straw needs to be tidied up in places, but substantially the bale wall is complete – two days ahead of schedule.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StrawBaleHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleHouse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StrawBaleBuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StrawBaleBuild</a>
