Day 17

Wednesday was HOT and BUSY, but everyone pushed through and made great progress while maintaining a collectively positive attitude! As per usual, "Down by the Bay" was the hit song in our morning circle, and new rhymes provoked laughter.

Visitors and the peeps they made: Jorj

During werk berzerk 1, simultaneous community college classes on wood burning and needle felting were led by Michelle.

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! Trading Post biz Cutting posts to nail walls to! After snack, we broke from the regular swim/work choice and took everyo

Day 18

Thursday, a "snaptastic" day and our 18th at camp. We started out with singing and announcements. Before homesteaders left the circle, R50 checks signed by the Fed or to be signed by peeps who hadn't completed their house/fence/map were distributed. All but a few peeps earned the reward! Great progress. During werk berzerk 1, Michelle led a community college course on wheel/axel arrangement for mini cars that could be used during land time. There were many attendees due to the high demand for faster travel time. Other homesteaders worked on their homes and businesses, as usual, until snack time. This homesteader finished her house today!   Work shoppin'  Making a wheeled peep-mobile! Their vehicle has a spacious trunk  for peep cargo and passengers A hot air balloon ride for Mini Fair After snack, everyone went swimming!! Those who chose to stay on shore played "don't even get me started" and "three
