Building, placing houses on the land!
This was our first "normal" Village in a few weeks. Last week was the last of our help from the Keene State students. Owen Iselin came by this morning to lend a hand (or two or three!). The first thing is that it is absolutely pouring outside. The homesteaders asked if Rolph was making it rain to flood TinyTown quicker. It certainly seems that way.
Having our class outside under the pavilion is a great motivator for the kids, they can see the end. Several homesteaders braved the rain and placed their finished houses out on their land. Owen led that expedition, so there is not much for me to report on except: Homesteaders that went out with houses, came back without them; homesteaders that went out dry, came back sopping! The rest of the group spent their 45 minutes taking turns with the hammers, working on painting houses, and making furniture.
The President declared that he should have a different title, Mayor, and should be surrounded by a city council. The former Vice President did not object to this demotion (I'm not sure that the rest of Tinytown is aware that a change has occurred, but I did not hear any complaints). The Mayor (who was waiting to have a turn with a hammer) spent the morning recruiting council members.
