RE: The Permaculture of Washing Dishes [Saving Water, From Thailand to the US!!!]
This is how I will be doing dishes come Saturday, in buckets, we will be out at the cabin getting our build on! :)

Have a great build! The bucket wash is great when you have a bunch of people and they can each wash their own dishes. That's how we've done it for workshops.
What are you building?
We are building a 16' x 32' timber framed cabin/shop, we are doing the shop first as its an easier build and since it's technically our first build we'd like some practice before we start building the actual cabin.
So after the shop is up we will be staying in there until we get the cabin built, still aren't sure on the size of a cabin we'd like to build yet.
Yea that's cool, we thought about doing something similar. Make the shop first, live in it till we build the one we want to live it.
I want to do a timber frame structure and fill it in with strawbales, call it a barn (for tax reasons) as our workshop.
Can't wait to see those posts! 16 by 32 seems like a good size too. Tall enough for a second story or lofted area?
Right now we are staying in a canvas prospector tent out here, lol.
We looked at insulating ours with wood chips, we have a chipper so we’d just need to get the wood; its definitely not hard to get around here ;)
It will have 8ft walls and a 45 pitch roof, there will be room for beds/storage up there. 👍🏼
Oh cool, wood chips for insulation? Never heard of that. 8 foot walls.. isn't that a bit small for a workshop?
We have to figure out a way to insulate out camper for next winter. I'm guessing straw bales all around on the ground, perhaps with an extra layer of blue foam board insulation under the floor. But for the walls and ceiling, I'm starting to think about some sort of insulating board, an outer frame and skinning it all around with live edge boards we can cut here. Would look lole a cabin!
I think the 8ft walls in the shop will be ok. It will eventually have double doors too! It would be like a tool shed/storage with a work bench or two.
We don’t have a shop at home either, only the tool shed, lol.
After seeing the roof for the shed, the 8' looks great!
