Cat-EarthresidenceNovember 2nd, 2011- In the second half of October it was again pleasant weather and some work was done.

On October 22, work on the roof construction was continued. Present were Robert, Christian and Jan (woodworkers), Frans (the architect), Lucia, Lai-Ting, Fien, Fabio and David.

We have placed the remaining 11 trusses and anchored them temporarily. The first dome is complete as far as the number of trusses.

Next time we are going to connect the trusses horizontally.Also the vertical connections will still have to be made (with the same curve as the inner vertical curve).

Saturday November 5th Frank, who is going to make a documentary for us about Earthresidence, will be filming and possibly do some interviews with some volunteers.
