A Little Storm

Sunday night we had a storm come through with lots of wind and then some rain.  The rain was actually good, there was a fire on the mountain behind Rosendal and a little rain helps keep the dust down.  However, I didn't have all the walls covered, didn't have enough plastic, so a couple walls were solid dry and left in the open.

This is the side of the bathroom wall
that suffered the brunt of the storm. You
can see how the rain has postmarked the wall.

This is the other side of the same wall,
can still see the saw marks.

There's really not much damage.  The cob at the top of the rained on walls is a bit crumbly/dusty, so I'm  going to scrap off the top and brush off.

Went up on the koppie today to get some more sandstone to fill the gaps with the change in compost toilet plans!  Had a view of the house don't usually have!  Cob is visible from quite far away.

Saturday night while at Rosa to post on the blog, ran into Derek!  He is the one I met back in March that offered wood for the floors and use of the chainsaw mill.  He was quite friendly, and said we should come visit him and his wife in Natal.  Waiting for a trailer we can borrow, then will make the trip as soon as we can.  He might be able to cut us timber for the window lintels as well.  Would be great to come back with a nice load of wood!  He also will show us his yogurt and keffir, and give us some keffir starter.  Looking forward to the trip!
