Our recent work party began with moving some scaffolding, chopping down a tree, then firing up a rented chipper to start making mulch out of our construction debris.

| With the dead mulberry tree gone, the whole yard seems much more open, and it's much easier to photograph the new house in its entirety |
 |
| Josh and Liz feed dead branches and lumber scraps into the chipper to make mulch |
A main focus of the day was re-purposing materials. Scraps of lumber were turned into mulch, panels of fence boards that someone was throwing out got cut up to make siding, and doors that were being discarded got a fresh coat of paint to help them stand up to being used as a folding gate. Thank you, Craigslist!

| Manu and Isa paint one of the doors for a new gate at the back of the property |

| Jesse getting ready to cut the boards off a panel of fencing that was obtained via Craigslist. Stay tuned to see how these weathered cedar boards look once they're cut and attached to the house as free siding. |
