Home Sweet Hive: May 2012
http://taoshivehome.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Last summer, I loved living in the Sky Bus, but during the day it could get pretty miserable - too hot inside, no shade outside, too many flies. I realized the need to address those problems as much as possible before moving back out there, so that I won't be tempted to flee into town during the hottest part of every day. Grommets are so lovely. The shadecloth is tied with rope to handles on top of the bus. Interior" view, with patio awaiting table and chairs. We also made a li...

Home Sweet Hive: August 2011
http://taoshivehome.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. Rainbow over the building site. In the earthbag house plans. I bought from Owen Geiger. Through most of June and July, and the intense heat during the middle of the day. My handheld tools powered by my lifeforce and gravity will have provided the foundation my house will rest upon until it is not more. And that could be a very long time, far longer than the life of the body responsible for it. Because it is not in fact the body that does this work, but the spirit does it ...I cou...

Home Sweet Hive: November 2012
http://taoshivehome.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. I write and teach writing for a living, so revising is a process I'm very familiar with. Building a house and living off grid, however, have taken me into a whole new realm of revision. I've already made several changes to my plans over time, and recently I've made a couple of really big ones. I'm not going to do that, but what I am going to do is build just one dome instead of three. And the even bigger decision I've made is that I'm not going to live out there. Building and ...

Friday, May 27, 2011. The Sky Bus Has Landed. Another piece of my project is now in place, and a major one at that - the Sky Bus is now parked on my land. Getting her there was epic, a pilgrimage, and showed me once again how when plans move from my head and/or paper to fruition, they become experiences that go far beyond what I had imagined. We put gas in it, and lo and behold, it started right up and stayed running this time. She was parked, backed onto my land with her nose facing east and her butt fa...

Friday, July 6, 2012. A Baptism of Butterscotch Brownies, a Barbecue, and Level Love. My new oven is a Flamineta. Which is a Mexican brand. Everything is in Spanish, including the instructions that came with it and all the text on the oven itself. Here are some photos Nicole took:. Deepening the fire pit that Graeme created last summer.

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. The Thousand Year Plan. I once wrote this article. For the Taos News about a local artist named Thom Wheeler who, over the past three decades, has turned his acre of land into a magical melange of buildings and gardens. He talked about further plans he has for the property, saying he's "on the thousand year plan.". Thom Wheeler's main house, image borrowed from thomwheeler.com. Links to this post.

Thursday, October 17, 2013. Earthbags and UV Rays: A Reluctant Experiment. The other purpose of going out there last weekend was to deal with the pile of bags outside the bus. I was able at last to get all of them either into the bus or into my Blazer to bring to my house, and this is a HUGE relief. No more mountain of bags sitting on the ground! And other than a very few at the bottom that had mildewed (which were the lowest quality bag I had anyway), they are all in good shape. Links to this post.
