Yesterday afternoon I took a break from plastering to see what people were up to on the base. Saturdays are open ended project days at Grassroots- a day off from the 'business' side of Grassroots, in which creative building projects spontaneously. That's how the chicken coop was built last time I was here, but there are tons of changes since then- a huge roof over the tool shop.
Yesterday's trip around the site amazed me- you'll see what I mean by the photos.
Container home: Delphine & Corinne are building a home on top of a shipping container.
Aaron has dug out a cave underneath the basketball court, which he is in the process of shoring up to create his new home. I helped him install chicken wire on the ceiling- he's going to plaster the walls.
Chad (at the other end of the piece of furniture) is moving into the recently finished earthship. He worked on building furniture yesterday with some help from volunteers.
These guys made this awesome trellis from bamboo & branches. It's atop the main GRU building, and there plans underfoot to plant climbing edibles up the trellis.
