Good evening again sustainable bloggers, it's Youssef again, checking in from neverspace to share some thoughts on the blog. Feeling like I never left, Scott smoothly transitioned me back into farm work mode, which had escaped me back home in Baltimore. The shelter is coming along well, and the aquaponics setup is a cool detractor of focus between spending all that time with the house.

We still need to finish weaving pine branches between the frame, borrow some more trees to finish the roof body panels, create a roofing, create a chimney/cap, build the interior, and debris, debris, debris. I envision it won't take too long now that the aquaponics system is pretty much dialed in.
Safety first, sometimes second and third
Dialing in the aquaponics has left Scott with another set of challenges, fortunately it has been fairly problem-free for the portion of the process I've witnessed (a solid three percent). Notice the hose from the pump mimicking the St. Louis arch for the sunset pose. In actuality he needed to secure it to the tank so as to prevent water syphoning back into the pump tank.
All in a day's work
As Scott has mentioned previously there is so much that goes on here that we just can't fit in to a blog post. He found a hand axe and spent an afternoon sharpening it and creating a sheath for me to have; we've perfected our personal evolutions of the bug-out bag with the small, medium, and large variety, as well as our personal smaller projects we each have on the side, and clean. It's great to be back on the farm, and am going to continue to make the most of my time here learning and living sustainability. Thanks for reading everyone, until next time
