EP 8 - TAKING SHAPE

October was the month we finally began sealing the shop from the elements.
We started by taping all the seams, laying down the underlayment — layer by layer, one careful step at a time — before installing the metal roof itself. Watching the panels go up felt like a turning point, the moment the structure started to feel sheltered.

We spent a lot of time taping seams, tightening details, and making sure everything was ready for the coming winter. It wasn’t fast work, but it was the kind that makes you slow down and pay attention.

There were softer moments too.
Our trail cam picked up more wildlife wandering through — quiet reminders that this land is shared. And in the middle of filming, Octavia had an emotional moment and just needed a hug. We paused everything. Sometimes that’s the most important part of the day.

We ended the month by wrapping the exterior walls in Tyvek. It was also the moment I faced one of my fears — climbing the scaffolding. It took a bit of courage, but I finally made my way up.

Looking back from December, October feels like the month things shifted — the roof going on, the walls wrapped, the season changing around us. Slow progress, but meaningful.
