    I'm always waiting for more pictures. I'm stoked to see the end result. I really do wish I lived more near.

    Ah. WOW.
    That's really Cool Me and My Friends are going to do a similar idea at the beginning of Summer but we haven't touched it since it's smaller though and the wood is thinner, cool I really like that If I lived anywhere near I would definately come over and help you you should definately put some pictures on The Hip Forums when It's finished it'll be really good. Keep It Going.
    EVERYONE HELP IF YOU LIVE NEAR. I'm not trying to push you...honestly. :)

    it is all dried in now, windows are set, and the door is just rough set for the time being

    [​IMG]

    here is a view of the windows in place and roughed in door, roof has tar paper on and is awaiting the tin... we have also started the process of pressure washing it , so that when it is completed we can seal it to keep the natural colors of it

    So, here it is more than a year since your last post. Did you ever finish getting the cabin dried in with windows and stuff in the gables?

    15 years of living in community ended for me at about the time of your last post when the founder's son threw everybody out of the homes we built....With his dad's backing!

    I've had the information online for a year, hoping someone would speak up for keeping trust in community. They've been writing legalistic letters to my webhosts getting my pleas for help removed. They're making the most outrageous claims, after telling everyone that nobody was thrown out, they've changed their story claiming that I've been ordered not to talk about it!

    Things look really bleak for me right now.

    I hope that everyone can take a lesson from my experience, and make sure that that everybody can be trusted when you join a community.

    actually we have posted on it uin our own forum here on the forums,,, just not here, i forgot ,,, n the windows are in the gables are in and we are tn g the inside as of now,,, so we are progressing slowwwwwwwwwwwly,,,hhb has also injured his back so we taking things super slow,,,,...

    so

    pardon me if i stomp on yer toes here for a minute,,, but holding on to the past a year or more later is getting you nowhere stone,,,, let it go,,,, its done,,, right or wrong,,, it doesnt matter,,,, n this is from a sister to a brother,,, let it go ,,, go forward,,, look to the future n what it can be,, not at what you have lost,,, take the good from your years where you were n go with it,,,, embrace it and cherish the good,,, the harsh hurtful n bitterness you are choosing to drag here in the forward with you is doing nothing but hurting you ... release it let it go ,,, in other word brother,,, pull yer head outta yer ass and see the day anew.... you will be so much better for it,,, you can face new challenges n opportunities etc etc,,,, without the BS of whats been done n gone for a long time now,,,, in other words,,, baggage,,,, lighten the load n stand up tall brother..... n trudge ahead...

    Dilli, Try telling this to the people at Enron.
    I didn't just hang out for 15 years.
    I made the place look good, spending my own money and effort building house, plant nursery, water systems. When they decided that 15 years of agreements were over, that my efforts had no value to the community, and began advertising for new members, I found it essential to speak out against that kind of very wrong kind of acting. Nobody would want to be treated like that. When people refuse to stand up and be counted as outraged over that, they make it possible for other people to be wronged.
    How can you possibly believe that it doesn't matter that people were thrown out of the homes they built?

    It is important for you to understand Dilli, EVERYBODY who built a house that wasn't related to the founder was thrown out. Because I insist on having this discussion publically, they're calling me a trouble-maker. Let me remind you, I said good things about my community untill I was thrown out. Refusing to quietly give up my home and livelyhood is what makes me a trouble-maker.

    They must be stopped from doing this to people.
