making great progress with the framing (left). Lovely straight posts
adorn our slab and define where our straw bale walls will be. The
Kurilpa bridge (right) is a pedestrian bridge in Brisbane that looks
like a steel spider web with twigs in it. Interesting engineering!
It's incredibly hot and dry. Over 39 degrees celcius in the middle of
the day and these guys just keep on working - absolutely amazing! Yours
truly (Rosalba) had great difficulty keeping up with them in the middle
of the day and had to sit in the shade for a bit and soak my hat in
water. Even the normally delightful afternoon breeze was just hot wind.
The guys had to construct a shaded area for the generator as it was
overheating in the sun! Even with these super guys working for us, we
won't have a roof on before Christmas so you'll have to wait until after
New Year for the straw bale episode. Happy holidays!
