heat, don't fail me now.

wimberley, off-grid... lots of small stuff to do and no a/c.

made it down by 10 AM. 

solar gain be gone

the cabins should stay cooler inside with less solar gain.  I hung curtains that we picked up at ikea. 

it's curtains for you cabin!

the big glass view is nice to have, but something about drawing the curtains closed when it's so hot outside that makes it a bit more tolerable.... almost tolerable.  fall will be here soon.

wimberley off-grid outhouse composting toilet

used some leftover plywood to finish up some walls in the bathroom. 

window trim

put some trim around the windows.  also hauled, mixed and poured four 60lb bags of concrete.  my hoe broke in the process.... need a new hoe. 

it was 3 pm when I packed up.  107 degrees (one hundred and seven degrees farenheit) and I'd been working all day outdoors, no a/c etc.  I thought about taking a quick dip in the blanco, it still has water in it.  I don't know where that water comes from.... but it's clear and cold.  some parts are deep enough for swimming.  

blanco river

I know of a very secluded private river park...

PRIVATE ACCESS ONLY

by private, I mean they have it gated and locked to keep trespassers like me out.  I poured some water bottle over my head and drove home.
