Log Cabin Afghan a la Mason Dixon Knitting.
I have 20 squares so far. This is enough for a small throw. The yarn is Sugar 'n Cream which I used because it is cheap and comes in a lot of colors. I've only seen this yarn used to make dishcloths so I am a bit nervous about how this will turn out.
Any advice on how to join knit afghan squares?
It was a slow trip home following a couple of logging trucks on hwy 299 between Willow Creek and Weaverville.

Coordinating the interior design is completely up to you. There are many different ways of doing this. For example, if you have furnishings that have a variety of colors, such as a couch, many people might choose one main color to base their décor on. However, if you have a black couch, you definitely will not want black walls, would you? Your home is your home however, you can mix and match as you see fit, as long as you are comfortable with it and enjoy the decorating scheme that is all that matters.
Guess what I did today.
And I got flippin wet doing it. Had to walk about with wet trousers and undies for a couple of hours. Nice.
Moncontour (Vienne)
Ancienne commune d'Ouzilly-Vignolles (commune rattachée à Montcontour depuis 1973).
Le logis des Tiveaux (maison de terre en bauge).
C'est une ancienne ferme, de la fin du XVIIe début XVIIIe siècle, dont les murs sont constitués d'un mélange de terre et de végétaux divers, montés en couches successives selon la technique traditionnelle de la "bauge". Les première trace de ce genre d'habitat remontent au XIIe siècle.
Le village était autrefois entouré de marais. Pour construire, les habitants n'avaient d'autres ressources que la terre et l'eau du marais, les roseaux, et des granulats.
Les maisons n'ont pas de fondations, et il semble qu'aucun coffrage n'ait été utilisé pour monter les murs.
D'après le cadastre, au début du XIXe siècle, toutes les maisons du village étaient encore en terre.
This is the machine we use to lift the logs into place When the logs fit perfectly we drive a large nail about 18 inches long through the log into the one underneath But basically they hold themselves together because of the notches cut from the logs

A ship carrying logs is seen at the Port of Olympia, in the City of Olympia, Thurston County, Washington State. The ship is the STX Pioneer, of Panamanian registry.
Despite the many faceted objections of environmentalists, the Weyerhauser company has teamed up with the public sector and is operating a log export operation at the Port of Olympia.
Many people who understand and care about the environment object to the activities of the Weyerhauser company. The lists of reasons is long. The objections stem at least in part because of the fact that the logging operation is harmful to ecosystems. The logging and shipping imperil the delicate biodiversity that is at the heart of ecosystem health. This goes along with a number of other reasons to object to the log export operations, including but not limited to the environmental effects from the transport of such a heavy commodity over long distances.
Should companies be allowed to engage in activities that harm the environment?
Who does the environment belong to? Or rather, who ought the environment belong to? (To some and not others? To all? To none?)
When there are harmful industrial activities, does it make more sense that some few should benefit disproportionately more than others, or does it make more sense to distribute the wealth in a way so that everyone would benefit equally?
Does the focus on a definition of success that leans on the metrics of materialism (v. spirit, or community, for example) promote a fundamentally harmful, abusive, violent relationship with the material of existence, the substance of the planet?
Is it possible that there other ways of defining success that would be more favorable toward a vision of economic stability and justice, and toward an end to what many believe is the criminal behavior of big companies?
In of the current system societies are engaged in competition to exert control over resources. Instead of this scenario, think about societies moving toward a culture of cooperation and stewardship and mutual prosperity. Think about society moving away from a culture of war, conquest and dominance.
Instead of measuring success based solely on personal material riches, perhaps success could be defined along the lines of a healthy community, on the ability to take care of each other, and to be truly aware and awake, conscious (and conscientious) in our daily lives, so that we are careful to the greatest extent possible to NOT do harm...
Perhaps success could be defined along the lines of efforts to strengthen the fabric of society, to work toward an end to all violence, and an end to all unnecessary suffering - an end to poverty, starvation, illiteracy, homophobia, sexism, ageism, racism, nationalism.
Perhaps success could be defined along the lines of contribution to the mutual health and well-being—the mutual happiness and prosperity—of all people.

A couple days ago I kept hearing chain saws over on the neighbors, so I went to investigate and see if they were going to clean up the tops. They were, so as I was heading back another Amish guy who was doing the felling headed me off and asked if I had some walnut I would sell and told me the price they could bring if they were good for Veneer, which he thought the two in my SE corner were. The power company keeps spraying along there and I’ve lost several trees along there and I’ve been afraid I will loose them also. We went over the fence and he said if they never had any hollow spots he thought they would make good ones.

I bought this RealGood Toys Crockett 1:12 scale log cabin kit and wow was I surprised to open the box and find, well, a box of sticks with a sheet of directions! None of the sticks were pre-cut and the directions looked beyond me. SO, I had the good sense to ask my sweetie (who is a professional woodworker) to assemble the kit for me for Christmas. It took him about 20 hours actual construction time! I've taken over post-construction to add all the stain, furniture and details.
Thanks for looking!

The walk abruptly ended here as the trough began running down hill and still had water in it, which eventually got deeper & deeper. Sold at auction for $3,000.00 to Little Amerricka in Marshal, WI.

23.1.12 found this in the log basket... if you look closely at the bit of bark to the right it looks like a wee horse lady playing the organ!! (honestly, it does!)
Crews will remove creosote-treated timber piles and bulkheads, as well as concrete, asphalt rubble and metal debris. They will then complete caps (installed as part of a previous project).
Debris, soil and sediment will be transported to a disposal facility specifically engineered and permitted for this kind of waste.
