Free Wood

Thursday, September 25, 2008


After Burning Man there was much confusion in my brain as to what I was going to do until xmas. Ideas included living in the national rain forest in Puerto Rico, volunteering for a foundation in Nicaragua, and even trying to live on a sail boat in Santa Cruz, California. The free lumber showed up on craigslist.org and I took it as a sign that I should build a yurt and live in the bitter cold for the winter.


Jason helped me transfer four loads of 2x4s, plywood, and 1" planks. It took us a week because we were also simultaneously trying to watch 4 seasons of lost and kill a keg of PBR.


All of the beautiful wood is stacked up outside waiting to be formed into a 16' x 16' platform with PEX tubing running through the floors to carry heated water. We've made some 4x4s out of 2x4s and, with Corey's help, I've thought a lot about the design. I imagine our first day of real construction will commence on Sunday. (Corey's day off)
