Building, lumber orders, newspapers
This week again was similar to the past several. Hammers were banging and the class was a hive of activity. We were joined this morning by my husband, Tim. He worked with a group of homesteaders to accurately draw out their lumber orders. More and more houses are coming together with "actual" right angles!
The editor of the Tiny Times has finished his house, so we should be seeing more and fuller newspapers in the coming weeks. Volume 2 was published today:
Our Marlborough town meeting is tonight, a group of homesteaders plans to attend the meeting. My hope is that this will be an experience for them to draw from for our future Tiny Town meetings. While there doesn't need to be a "right" way of conducting town meeting, there is something to be said for not reinventing the wheel. I think several things will happen. Homesteaders will see the respect that a moderator commands, and how that comes about. Homesteaders might be so bored by actual town meeting that they will have no trouble with Tiny Town meeting. Homesteaders will observe that a few individuals tend to ask all of the questions and complain an awful lot. They will also see that real town meeting is mostly about taxes and not so much about policy, what they do with this information I have no idea.
A huge THANK YOU to Carlisle Wide Plank Floors for a large donation of wood to build our homes!
