vault update--one last thought



Oh, yeah, in all the details, I forgot something: I *love* the place! 
Whenever the tarp is off I stay around after dark and scheme-up new details 
and plans. Sometimes, on moonlit nights, I can hardly drag myself away. 
Even after four-and-a-half months of continuous work, I'm only physically 
burnt out; the project still excites me and I can't wait to get back to it 
in the Spring. It looks like a little cathedral or castle or fortress or 
something from the road and under the moon is positively magical. I'm 
really looking forward to the plastering and other detail work, not to 
mention the next vault! The experimental nature of the project is what 
keeps it really exciting. As the building has gone up it has "spoken" to me 
and given me endless new ideas. Had this been a "conventional" sb, built 
just as planned on paper, I'd have been bored silly by now and never want 
to do this again. Instead, my eyes usually light up when I start talking 
about it.

If any of y'all are in Humboldt County, stop by!
