Day 4

June 29th, day four

So far, each new day at Village has seemed to be more exciting than the last! Here are some events that made the first Thursday special. 

Our newest homesteader furnishes her peep
with a full head of hair!

Today we welcomed a new homesteader and her peep, Mia, who was quick to show her allegiance to the Cult of the Great Chinchilla Food. More news on the topic of the CGCF farther down!

Also today, much progress was made on house plans. Nearly all homesteaders had finished their cardboard models and lumber orders by the end of the day, and many others made progress sizing and cutting their wood! Prospects for painting and nailing tomorrow are looking very bright.


Jigsaw mastery!

Business propaganda for Bat's Best Pets.
Their slogan is: "Pets that don't need to go
to the vet!"

Corvee!

After cleanup, the homesteaders headed to a neighboring field for a long-awaited game of capture the flag. In our version, teams are created when each player partners up with another who has a similar amount of strength, and then they take opposite sides. At the start of each match, a person and their partner form firm eye contact and handshake, and trash talk*. It was as fun as anticipated!

Day 22

It is day 22, Mini-Fair Eve, and also appraisal day. Homesteaders crafted up a storm preparing for these two events! Side one of last week's newspaper: a must read! Side two After singing and groupies, there was ONE LAST werk berzerk block to work on houses before appraisal time! The barn was real' busy with painters, sculptors, and hot-gluers. Some homesteaders also went to their lands to reinforce fencing and do other landscaping. Final touches Alex ??????'s finished land! Appraisals happened after snack! Groupies and their leading commissioners toured the town and stopped at each property to read its blurb and evaluate pricing. To achieve their appraisal amounts, homesteaders took the median of all of the price-tickets their homes received. We think this method is fair because tickets with R0 or R100,000 will just add more place markers to count the median off from, rather than skewing an average. The most va

Day 8

 Thursday, July 6, day 8... Our werk bezerk 1 was brightened up with a community college class on peep wallpaper making, hosted by a special guest. There will be more of these classes in the future, the next one being on hardwood floor installation as was voted for by homesteaders! Also note: the community college classes are examples of Fed sponsored activities, which are where the peeps' tax rainbows go. The 5% tax was established in time for the first payday, but due to the effect it has had on the Federal budget, it will be up to the peeps to choose between the classes and low taxes. Our special guest and her professor peep! Wallpapering a finished house! Those who did not attend the course continued working on their homes or jobs.  Help from Jasmine Cutting out windows!

June 28th, Wednesday-- a busy day in T.S.T.W.R.S.A.E.C.C.C.T.T.S.K.W.B.A.O.T.B.I.A.G.C. Elated that the unpredictable weather permitted swimming!! After reviewing The Plan of the Day and singing songs, homesteaders headed to the acre to retrieve their peeps, who had spent the rainy night in yesterday's primitive shelters. The effectiveness of each shelter was made evident based on how soaked a peep was. "What's His Name?" lost his beard due to the dampness, but fortunately it was able to be fixed (long live the Mighty Jambi!). Damp peeps! During activity block 1, homesteaders worked on finishing their cardboard models, writing their lumber orders, and drawing their house plans onto said lumber. Peeps are very excited to have their houses built! Working hard on her lumber order! Finishing touches on the cardboard model! Cardboard model finished! Helping hands from a commissioner Listeners of the radio during
