wow the looks like a moom. wow the looks like a moom.

Step inside.

When building a house as I am building, that is to say slowly with time measured in years, not months, one has to juggle both the details and the big picture, the overall goal. The details are my week to week and day to day focus. The big picture is my compass. Really the overall goal stays on the horizon moving forward with each step I take yet remaining close enough for me to plan each week's tasks.

When you walk in through the front door, you'll see a small vault which will some day be a window seat. In the center of the back wall of this vault is a small oval shaped colored glass window with a landscape pictured on it.

Light plays such an important place with a dwelling. The photos at the below on right shows the inside of the small vault. You can see the combination of superadobe and cob. The photo above and on the left shows the front door near an oval window seeming to float in space with a look not unlike that of earth from space.

Outside, my guard goose inspects the current construction techniques and frequently offers suggestions. Either that or the she just wants to get into the bathroom to shower. The PeptoBismal pink color is created by mixing red latex paint (small amount for pigment) with a lime wash. The final colors are yet to be determined, but I can promise it will be colorful and will eventually include murals around the structure inside and out. The windows on the right of the goose are those of the bathroom.
