Hello All,
Sorry for the delay in response to last weekend's 2 day Cordwood Workshop here in Elba, all my free time has gone into the continued building of the structure....but it's a labor of love. Anyways, the workshop was a huge success. We ended up with about 15 people total from all over New York state and most of our students were women! The presentations, pictures, stories, food and of course, hands-on cordwood time were all spectacular. To see pics from the workshop please visit out Facebook page (link below & to the right)...more pics coming soon including our group pics! We got more than half of the guesthouse complete while getting in a large window frame, 6 bottle ends, a leaf, and a pointing knife stuck out of the wall for a hook. The students were varied in backgrounds & building experience but all came together to build something that will last for lifetimes to come.
For this month’s event I was trying to put together a Kayak trip but I am postponing this till next month as I am working to cross promote the event with another organization so stay tuned for that! So for June’s Meetup we will be at the Green Drinks event on Thursday, June 24th @ 6pm at the Tap & Mallet Bar on Gregory St. We always have a great time & meet sustainable-minded attendees. Also, I will be putting an earth roof on the cordwood guesthouse as soon as I finish the walls (as they will be carrying the hefty roof load). UPDATE:Unfortunately, the weather has not participated enough in the past few weeks for me to get too much more cordwooding done to be able to host the earth roof event at my home in Elba NY on Saturday, June 19th. I will need to delay the event till July but again, this will be another FREE event and I will post the date ASAP. Please call me at 585 200 0526 if you are interested in attending this free/donation-appreciated event and/or the Kayak trip.
Cheers,
Peter
