Sustainable Building Day 3

Bohio

Rafters

1/4/09

I went to bed some what late last night maybe aroudn 10:30 or 11pm. Yet I woke up before the sun again. I was tired but was deffinetly up, i like this pattern that i am starting to notice, i naturally am just rising up, while everything is till quite and still.

The sunrise was brillient with light today, as i sat and drank a cup of tea and watch all colors being born again.

Today is day three of Bohio construction. Today we put up the rafters. 16 total, we actuall only did 8. I think Marshell will help finish the rest as his focus area is sustainable building.

I got to laern how to use a Beval square today.

A beval square allows you to transpose any angle to another piece of wood. Its a really important tool for those who work on ships, and alot of carpenters could benifit from it, yet dont have it in their bags.

Later tonight we will be larning how to make cordage.

Cordage is primitive twin, string and rope.

Its made of natural fibers that are harvested and dried out.

A few plants i know of that have great fiber for cordage are, Snake plant, Cat Tail, and i am sure i will learn alot more.
