I returned last night from a week out of town all fired up to head down to the barn tonight to get ready to take it down starting tomorrow. This morning when I called the fellow who is running the show for us on this step I learned that the operator of the large piece of equipment that we will use was on vacation! Why we didn't know this before this week was scheduled I cannot say, but the fact is we cannot start until Spetember 27th, two weeks from now.
Some of our community went to the barn site on Saturday and moved another large load of wood to Raccoon Creek. The truck owner tagged a few more trees that need to be taken down to allow the larger trailer to get onto the site, so we will spend a day or so between now and the 28th doing a bit more widening.
This weekend we will be manning a table at Bloomington's Simply Living Fair. If you've got an interest in simplifying your life, this fair is a great place to learn how. Visit our table if you can attend, and plan to have dinner with us on Saturday and/or Sunday evening to talk about Raccoon Creek and our upcoming permaculture course. (Discount deadline is the 21st of September.)
The following weekend may be the best time to restack the barn wood that has already been taken to the site. It should be a great time of year to spend a day at Raccoon Creek, or even to camp overnight. Let us know if you'd like to help for a few hours that weekend.
