Day 20

Busy in the barn
The first day of our last week here at Village was rainy, as if Nelson mourned in preparation for the upcoming loss of its homesteaders. "Sanging sungs" happened in the barn, and although the outdoors were damp, the campers' vitalities were not. Mountain Dew, Down By the Bay, Little Cabin in the Woods, and others made the soundtrack of our morning. Before beginning work, each homesteader met with the commissioner in charge of their "groupie" and made intentions for the block.



Adding a warm glow!




















A very exciting community college course took place during werk berzerk I: LED light installation! Villagers worked hard to line up batteries, mini lights, and copper wires ~just so~ to make their peeps' homes a little more homey. Other homesteaders continued to work on their houses and businesses.

A surprise at snack: hot chocolate! All were chilly, so commissioners shared their coffee maker and cocoa mix. There were also graham cracker rations, left over from our campfire s'more supply. Then we had werk berzerk II and lunch.

Hot chocolate chums

After lunch there was an indoor land time for peep commerce, followed by a third work block and a community college course on mini furniture. Homesteaders used cardboard, bits of wood, hot glue, and acrylic paint to create small tables, chairs, and couches-- you name it! The process left a sizable mess, but busy corvee-ers fixed it up!

Home sweet home!

Game time was just about used up by a long conversation about respect-- from cleaning up after oneself and treating one another fairly-- to not allowing an unattended toaster oven to burn down the barn! Homesteaders were understanding. Afterward we passed 3 Things around for a few minutes before telling our pluses and wishes, and retiring into the persistent storm...

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!

Day 3

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
