When this farm was first built, the barn was surely an important part of the everyday operations. When we walked through it for the first times, we could tell what had once been, where the old chicken coop used to be, the old animal stalls, the old barn doors... Alex really wanted to return these more rustic, manually operated doors, and so he built them this summer. We really enjoy being able to enter the barn without the sound of the garage door mechanism :) only the simple the rolling of the door on the track.

| We painted our depiction of Turtle Island on them, a reminder of the constant relationships we have with the rest of the natural world |

| Alex also built an outdoor shower out of cedar trims and mostly salvaged wood. Many people have enjoyed it already, but I am still waiting for the solar water heater :) Maybe next summer |
 |
| Another structural project Alex worked on this summer was the wood shed lean-to that he connected to the porch, this way we wont need to put the wood in the basement anymore. |
