The work continues! Today we:
- Augered holes for the four piles for the tractor port
- Poured concrete and set U brackets in place (to support the posts)
- Installed the four remaining straw bale wall panels
- Secured the wall panels with glue, hurricane strapping and cross-bracing
- Put up posts and rafters (from the market to the shed to the greenhouse)
- Worked until 11 pm with the help of many members of the housing crew and volunteers

| Securing the stucco wire on the wall panels. |
 |
| Installing the posts and rafters. |
 |
| The first two wall panels with the rafters extending past the wall. The first section (market) reuses the concrete slab from the storage shack as its foundation, tying into the newly-poured grade beam that supports the rest of the north (straw bale) wall. |

| Working on the rafters into the evening. |
