well, there has not been an explosion

When I am experimenting with plant dye, the boyos complain about the stinky.  I have moved into the unfinished cob building.  The Teahouse it is referred too.

I need to make some cob and finish the windows.  There will be less wind coming through and possibly less mosquitoes.  But, I do not know when that will happen.  There is a place for a counter and I need to build that as well.

Right now, I using an old turkey fryer that was just laying around.  It was not in the best of the condition.  I am playing with bean soaking water again and when I went out after raising the flame a tad, the line to the propane at the junction to the fryer was on fire!  An earth building is a good place for this action to take place.  I will either have to fix the hose, get a new fryer, or find another useable heat source for my dye.  Most plant dyes need some type of heat source.

I do like having a place to work that I can keep things set up.  A place to work as well that has less chance to go up in flames too.  With a gravel floor, spilling is not a big deal either.  I just wish the pumpkin pulp dyeing had turned out better.  Oh well.  More experimentation needed!
