We have power!

I have been preparing the house for bales. It is just about ready
after built in conduit, gravel between the bottom plates, plaster
stops, safety precautions for fire, and so forth.
We finally got power hooked up to the house! My brother has been
wiring the house for me. This is exciting, we can plug things in now
and have temporary work lights. As soon as all the wires that go into
the outside walls are in we can start stacking bales.
We are taking six more months off now. I still don't think I will
finish the house on this trip, but my goal is to have a protected
shell in place. I want to stack the bales, put in the doors and
windows, and plaster the outside only. If I can get that done we can
leave it protected and finish it up another time.
I am really happy with the progress so far.
