<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These drawings are the current working designs for the workshop. Ariel sketched the timber skeleton and Matt, Feel Free and Daisy sketched the shell and interiors. The windows, doors, stair, and railings are mere representations as plans would include factory seconds, recycled materials, and odds-and-ends pieces.</span></div>

building is 20' x 30' feet. The lower level ceiling will be 9-10 feet

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Stair placement is a little difficult so as to keep the work area open and navigate the upstairs beams. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The upstairs will be for storage. Faeries can capitalize on shelving above the beams and off to the sides. The beam near the stair is a little awkward but since this will be a storage space it isn't especially concerning. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The south-facing wall will have a 3 foot deep running counter under which there can be storage. In this photo they are represented solid but the notion is to have some open shelves and some lockable cabinet doors. </span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The workshop will be insulated and winter-hardy to facilitate working in the cold. It will provide all kinds of naturally-lit work areas since it is south-facing. The end door will be a 6 foot wide double door to facilitate moving timbers in and out. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The shell will be structurally insulated panels (SIPS) which are two sheets of plywood with foam insulation binding them together. The hope is to mill some of the trees from the building site into rough-cut, natural siding. The SIPS allow for easy addition of siding, or pegboard, and shelving. Straw bale walls aren't practical for this space since it is a workshop and the walls can get banged and chipped. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a view of the south face. On the west face there will be a deck from the second floor making a roof outside the lower level exit. The railing would likely be decorative and artful. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the Interdependence Gathering, the Circle consented to these designs this far. Over the next few weeks, Daisy will attempt to schedule the excavator to get bids for a bit of fill dirt needed for the concrete slab on which the building will sit. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The over-arching goal is to get the pad poured and most of the beams cut by the end of the season. Depending on the speed with which we work, we hope to get the frame and roof up by fall. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the beginning of the Design Comet's workshop proposal to bring to the community. The Comet encourages faeries to watch the design process through this blog. As designs designs come forward, the Comet will seek feedback in face-to-face meetings, conference calls, and web events. The goal is to complete this structure as soon as possible, perhaps by Lammas. Timber framing workshops will be offered for faeries to learn and improve their skills to further prepare to build the dining hall. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The workshop is a 20x30 foot space that will sit on the corner by the propane tank. This space is designed for tool and machinery storage (like in the Shit Shed and black tool box) and for 2-4 faeries to be able to timber frame indoors. There would be large garage-type doors on the gable end facing the road to facilitate loading timbers in and out. The interior will mostly be an open design with running counters and shelving throughout.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The timber frame shell will have 8-10 foot upright posts on the first floor. The height at the peak is 20 feet. The upper level would be for storage and include a "down-low" bedroom (to avoid permitting the building for residence). The building will be on a concrete slab with consideration for possible radiant heat in the floor or at minimum a wood-burning stove. A tiny deck could face Noisy Bottoms on the upper level.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The workshop will be winter-hardy with the working plan to use structurally insulated plywood (SIP) panels for the sheathing. Since it is on a concrete slab, strawbale walls could be used for high insulation. But the inner walls would require sheathing in order to build shelving onto them. Hence, the decision is to go with SIP. </span> <br />

The funding is in-hand through a generous Destiny faerie. The Comet recommends the previous model of organizing around design and building. The Comet will have a limited lifespan, limited work focus, and short timeline. If you have interest in the process, the design, the facilitation, please become involved with the Comet. There will be a community feedback period with a viewing and editing process built in. Once the design decisions are made and agreed upon, the Comet will “Top” the project and facilitate it to completion. As such, the design and feedback time will be discrete and clear. The actual building process will be facilitated by the Comet with built-in workshops for skills-building in timber frame technique. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the Design Comet and Land Use continue to plan for year-round residency, this map will be considered and locations firmed up to present to Act 250 over the next few months. Conversations to be initiated will include 1) necessary Phase 2 processes of development for full-time residency, 2) what easements of the property would be necessary for deer yard protection once we start plowing the current road of snow, and 3) how many people could gather on the property during the winter months without changing any of the currently planned infrastructure?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Phase 1 of our development is related to the Campground. All the buildings on the Phase 1 plan would remain on the plan, they are just moved to be more efficient wintertime locations, and part of Phase 2 Residence development. No additional buildings would be necessary for wintertime residence at this time that haven't previously been considered by the board. These remaining cabins would need to be built to meet winter resident coding requirements. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Great News!!! A generous
Destiny faerie has donated $20,000 to the No Place Like Home development fund.
This directed donation is requested by the donor for building the workshop. The
workshop has been discussed for a few years on Land Use and the Design Comet. This
article is a distillation of those previous discussions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The location of the current
white, plastic Shit Shed was the original placement for the workshop. With
clearing trees in Noisy Bottoms, the focus has shifted in the development site.
It makes sense to place the workshop directly on the road. Future plans include
timberframing the dining hall and cabins. This space would importantly need to
be on the road for ease of timber unloading. The current considered location is
on the corner near the propane tank. The Shit Shed site will be the sauna.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The workshop functions
include a 20x30 insulated, wood-heated space for machinery and tool storage. It
would have enough open space for at least two faeries to carve timbers. There
will be a workbench. Given it is heated one could sleep in there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Circle opted to start
work on the dining hall as a next project a few years ago. Funding for that
project has yet to be secured. Fund-raising for the solar electric system, a
cost of $34,000, took five years to achieve. Two years ago the business circle
agreed to pursue a loan to commence the dining hall construction as soon as
possible. Destiny’s monthly income through monthly electronic funds transfers
(EFT) has decreased from $1,100 a month down to $500. At this time, that isn’t
enough to secure monthly loan repayment. Work to secure financing for the
dining hall will continue this summer. Ultimately, increasing the EFT payments
back up to $1,000 monthly would allow for loan acquisition. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Design Comet is
reinvigorating now that the funding for the workshop is secured. Next, the
Comet will begin meeting to discuss the design of the workshop, the type of
design—timberframe vs. stickframe—and facilitation of the design process. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Previously consented, the
Design Comet is “closed” after the step-on time. The Design Comet’s mission is
to design the development site and its structures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Comet proposals include methods of financing. Teams from the
Comet operationalize the proposal to complete the project. It is requested you
participate for two years. </span></div>

Destiny's property at Hall Brook. The pink circle is the kitchen
development site. One can see the sketching of a road within the trees

clearing near the upper pink arrow near 103. </td></tr>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Destiny
is 166 acres of predominantly steep, North-facing property in Southern
Vermont. Most of the property was once cleared and home to sheep and
cattle that belonged to the Peck Farm which sits across 103. The main
entrance is an improved logging road that enters off VT Route 103 South.
The drive is nearly a mile long and progresses up steeply for the first
half, flattens some, and then moves on the rise again but not so
steeply to the kitchen. The drive traverses nearly the three-fourths of
the property. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Destiny
had no cleared areas in 1997. The original logging road passed through
the Yurt/Giza area and onto L'Nai 95 and into the camping and septic
area. The current road from the Yurt to the kitchen did not exist. The
parking lot did not exist. At the first gatherings, faeries parked on
the upward slope of the drive and hiked in. The original kitchen site,
K1, was set up just prior to the Yurt yard on the downhill side where
it's flat. It is also a swale and filled up with water during the first
rain of the first gathering. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
first Destiny projects were improving the logging road up to the
parking lot area and to the yurt and cutting out the parking lot. This
started in 1998. </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This
is a Google Earth screen shot of the kitchen. To the left one can see
Eastman Road. When you compare the distance to Eastman Road from the
kitchen, you see just how close we sit to that road. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In
the early years of Destiny's development, many faeries did not want to
cut ANY trees. After the current kitchen site was selected, it took
nearly two years to agree to cut the trees for the current road from the
Yurt to the kitchen. When faeries wanted to build the Yurt, it took
many hours of Heart Circle to come to agreement to cut some trees down.
The same for the Giza. Moss did nearly all the cutting at the Yurt yard
and on the road up to the kitchen. He worked to design the road in order
to cut the fewest trees possible. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When the faeries purchased
Destiny, the neighbors on the back parcel dug a well right in the middle
of the exit route. They contested our deed which was missing a few
pages that made clear the exit was for residential, commercial or
agricultural. Since these pages were located last year, we can begin a
process of negotiating the back exit. Currently, the exit goes right
through the neighbor's property. We'll negotiate to maintain this exit
or build a new one which would require a bridge over Hall Brook. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since
cash has not been at the ready, Land Use has not approached the current
owners of that property to discuss our development plans. A surveyor
came two years ago and felt that the deed and current markers made it
very plain that we have a right-of-way. </span><br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This
screenshot shows the kitchen site and the rear exit out the property.
This is a deeded exit but was contested when the previous owners lived
there. Portions of the deed were missing with the township but were
found in 2015. So Destiny has the documents to use this deeded
right-of-way which is shorter, and not so steep. </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Destiny
houses many deer. The back drive runs through thick hemlock groves.
Much of our land is set aside in "current use." Current Use is a tax
incentive program to not develop forest land. It allows for forestry
management but not logging, commerce or development. Development and use
of the road will impact these deer and deer yards. Destiny has been
taking actions to mitigate the harm on the deer with our development so
far. Further deer mitigation may be required when we keep either the
front road open or develop the back road. I suspect Destiny will be able
to easily meet its development goals since we are developing so of the
166-acres. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At
this time, Destiny does not have ready cash to hire surveyors or
consultants to move forward with design and implementation of the road
plan. We will need some infrastructure and development money and
consultants to continue to move forward.</span><br />

Notes:<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />1) New Veg Garden is located in sunniest/warmest microclimate on the land. Also below water catchment for easiest gravity feed irrigation. & in Zone 1 of proposed winterized Cabins.<br />
<br />
2) Existing Garden becomes more perennially focused -- medicinal herbs, berries, perennial vegs -- requiring less irrigation.<br />
<br />
3) Workshop & Solar Array do not reflect our only placement options. (See Master Plan map & Solar posts below).<br />
<br />
4) Forest Garden/Terraces ought best be established with earth moving equipment -- minimizing up front labor & saving us years of labor down the line.<br />
<br />
5) Pond is proposed -- & in a separate watershed than the septic. (See Water Catchment post below)<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The purpose of this post is to familiarize the Destiny Community with the concept of Master Planning. It is hoped that a <b>Master Plan for Faerie Camp Destiny</b> will ultimately assist the community in reaching consensus with some long term goals and priorities for future improvements and </span><span style="text-align: left;">buildings projects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">It has long been assumed that future improvements would occur within the circumference of the cleared area where the new kitchen is located. The selective clearing of the post-agricultural forest has opened up wonderful vistas and now allows abundant sunlight and air circulation to refresh and rejuvenate the land and the life it supports.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two weekend workshops took place this winter in an effort to evaluate and clarify the direction of future improvements on the land at Destiny. The basis of these discussions were recommendations made by Land Use Planet, the newly formed Design Comet, and input from broader Destiny Community which was voiced at the More Than Annual Meeting in December 2013.<br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: left;">Under discussion in no particular order are:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">Solar power through photovoltaic array</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">Enclosed dining hall adjoining the kitchen to replace the current dining canopy</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">Workshop/storage building to facilitate future construction projects and provide shelter during the shoulder seasons</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Housing for a number of year-round residents/stewards</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Cabins for elder shelter during the gathering season</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Bath house with sauna</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Firewood storage shed</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following are several examples which hopefully demonstrate how the visual tools of a <b>Master Plan</b> "exercise" can be used to foster ideas, dialogue and understanding amongst members of the Destiny Community, to glean support from outside the community, and to ultimately seek funding and permitting necessary to the success of any such endeavor. As of this writing it is a work in progress, an idea, an exercise that requires further study, community insights and support.</div>

<i>'But Destiny is so wet!! Why would we want to catch more water at Destiny?'<br />
</i><br />
Water is our lifeblood & the lifeblood of the land. It's the lubricant that allows the life forces of the place to flourish & move. It's presence is cooling, refreshing, productive, & restorative. Usually, when water is felt to be 'too much' on a landscape it is during excessive rain, or when said water moves quickly & erosively through a landscape. Conceptually, we want water to flow through & across our land as slowly as possible -- & allow it to serve the greatest number of purposes possible, before it (inevitably) leaves our sloping landscape.<br />
<br />
This is a video put together by Whole Systems Design farm in Northern Vermont's Mad River Valley. It describes briefly basic water catchment technology, & how the design of their land effectively absorbed the waters of Hurricane Irene -- which otherwise raged through the Mad River Valley. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr3-IolRKuc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr3-IolRKuc</a><br />
<br />
Water does work upon the land. Besides watering plants & people, it… <br />
- cleans tools & vegetables; <br />
- can reduce or eliminate our need to water the gardens with pumps or by hand; <br />
- creates habitat for a greater number of organisms, increasing the diversity & resilience of an ecosystem; <br />
- allows for the production of distinctly aquatic food crops, both animal & vegetable;<br />
- it increases dynamic & productive edge conditions while increasing raises the reflected heat of the land (creating micro-climates that can grow plants normally accustomed to warmer climates). Famously, Sepp Holzer has used this effect to successfully grow lemons & other citrus -- in the Austrian Alps.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbmp1_xwD45BSONVru140FnhQDlB45rxPiUqgSzsztso8vKsHRPbU6r-rOckqiRQfNCCI0nxhvEvG-0PzEzM9Rs0IgZVQeLjA9iKw_oQ2j0y3LPg0BkZe7OvJ_nVfDoQ6ZVwX/s1600/FlugbilderKrameterhof.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbmp1_xwD45BSONVru140FnhQDlB45rxPiUqgSzsztso8vKsHRPbU6r-rOckqiRQfNCCI0nxhvEvG-0PzEzM9Rs0IgZVQeLjA9iKw_oQ2j0y3LPg0BkZe7OvJ_nVfDoQ6ZVwX/s320/FlugbilderKrameterhof.jpg" /></a><br />
<i>(productive ponds at Sepp Holzer's Kramerterhof)</i><br />
<br />
There exists a diversity of water-storing solutions that include:<br />
- the soil itself<br />
- swales<br />
- trees & plants themselves<br />
- ponds <br />
- cisterns<br />
<br />
The most efficient place/way to hold water is in the ground -- & the better the soil (the more organic material, the more spongy) the more water it can hold. In order though for the water to penetrate into the soil, we have to slow it down, to offer that exchange the time necessary for the water to sink. Swales (ditches dug on contour) are one such way to sink water deeply into the earth. This enables the plants & trees growing below to drink deeply & hold water in their flesh. Ponds are ways to hold standing water & aquatic ecosystems -- & often are capable of supplying gravity-feed irrigation systems in case of drought. Cisterns serve a similar function; they easefully capture rainwater off the roofs of buildings, & generally supply gravity-fed irrigation systems below. <br />
<br />
Moving water opposite gravity requires a lot of power. The more water-drawing options (& increased water use efficiency) available to any community, the less reliant we are upon electricity or fuel or any one piece of equipment like a pump. This is one working definition for growing a more resilient community.<br />
<br />
---------<br />
<br />
<i>'So how much water are we talking about?'<br />
</i><br />
Destiny, & Vermont as a whole, is a rainy place. About 3 to 5 inches of water fall each month, for a total of about 44 inches of precipitation a year. The formula to determine is :: rain fall harvest = catchment area x amount of rain x efficiency.<br />
<br />
For example, if we collected water off the roof of our proposed new workshop structure (w/ approximately a 40' x 20' roof -- & with only 80% efficiency), the land's monthly average of 4 inches of rain would yield 1,600 gallons of water per month into cisterns. The kitchen meanwhile could collect more than that. The two side by side would mean over 3,000 gallons of water monthly available to the lower meadow -- the area to which these systems could gravity-feed. This, incidentally, points to moving our more water-intensive (vegetable) gardens to below the kitchen, in the lower meadow (where there is also more available sunlight).<br />
<br />
These meanwhile are just two structures. This says nothing about the 160 acres Destiny holds in common -- that the same 44 inches of rain falls upon yearly. This means, according to the same equation, that a dizzying 191,166,936 gallons of fresh, clean water falls annually on our land. In the face of such quantity, we start where we can, catching water where it makes sense to do so, & grow our collective practice of doing so into the future.<br />
<br />
Siting is key. What water needs do we have? & what opportunities lay above said needs to catch water? <br />
<br />
Some existing & possible catchment points for us at Destiny in the nearer term:<br />
- swales in the existing garden<br />
- kitchen roof (cistern)<br />
- dining hall roof (cistern)<br />
- workshop roof (cistern)<br />
- resident cabins (cisterns)<br />
- pond at the bottom of the lower meadow<br />
- terraces or swales for the proposed orchard in the lower meadow<br />
- growing out lush gardens to hold water in the plants themselves<br />
- continued soil building to grow the sponginess & water holding capacity of the earth<br />
<br />

From the seat, & mouth, of the great Pashananda, we hear words of wisdom, 'Gently holding water'. <3 .Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12980302917726088722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995520.post-84067231784211318452014-02-24T15:36:00.001-05:002014-02-25T11:28:42.764-05:00Destiny Solar System Possibilities<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="pixcol"><div class="p1"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">The intention of this post is to outline, as objectively as possible, the options the Destiny Community has before us, for the visioned solar array. The post though accepts as true that a solar array of some kind is coming -- alongside a workshop & a dining hall.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><b>Field Array:</b></div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Description</i> - The field array, recommended by our previous two estimators (that yielded the $25,000 estimate figure), consists of two posts, with 6-panels each, installed in the lower meadow, just beneath the driveway behind the kitchen. </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Pros</i> - The maintenance on the field array is supposedly the easiest of all the systems, because of their accessibility (nearness to the ground) & detachedness from any structure.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Cons</i> - The field array takes up significant space in the lower meadow. It also shades the ground beneath it, assuring the space underneath minimal utility. With the field array there are no stacked functions.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmONQPuuor3M8hw2UIfaLBMNsW2dPjW4N9Faab6e5uhTKzjh8-NQ1SqBDq4XeyZTsfkQTma5hugSRxo9t759ZynMXftXI12zL_lSRSCUdvzao6nB8ijYHtRqSVUxBHENddMiaH/s1600/url.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmONQPuuor3M8hw2UIfaLBMNsW2dPjW4N9Faab6e5uhTKzjh8-NQ1SqBDq4XeyZTsfkQTma5hugSRxo9t759ZynMXftXI12zL_lSRSCUdvzao6nB8ijYHtRqSVUxBHENddMiaH/s1600/url.jpg" /></a>the field array</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><b>Roof Array (Integrated):</b></div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><b></b><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Description </i>- The integrated roof array works many small panels into the roof as shingles. It's less efficient than a full-panel system, but is easy to make up for in more area. Requires optimal roof pitching. Most likely installed on the dining hall & possibly the workshop roof.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><i></i><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Pros </i>- The integrated paneled roof is cost competitive with the other systems. No space in the field is taken up. Meanwhile, cost for roofing pays for solar shingles & functions as roofing. Multiple stacked functions. </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Cons </i>- Snow removal in winter will be necessary to keep producing electricity -- (can be accomplished with a long pole & squeegee). </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><i></i><br />

</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Description </i>- Traditional full-paneled system mounted on the roof of the dining hall &/or perhaps the workshop. Similar in form to the field array, except mounted on the roof. System requires optimal roof pitching.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><i></i><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Pros - </i>No space in the field is taken up. Offers protection to the roof below. </div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><i></i><br />

</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><b>Hybrid (Roof & Field Array):</b></div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><i></i><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Description</i> - Simply a combination of.. likely, one 6-panel post in the field & a smaller (either) integrated or mounted array on the roof.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Pros </i>- Diversified electricity sourcing -- if one fails, we still have the other. It offers the option of phasing -- the field array likely first, to get us going, with the roof system waits for the completion of dining hall or workshop. Takes up less space in the meadow.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"><i>Cons</i> - Phasing costs more because the work needs be done twice, potentially by two different installers. Still takes up space in the meadow.</div><div class="p2" style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">The nature & materials of <i>the</i> <i>workshop</i> (likely our next building project on the land) is an important consideration as we discuss when the solar system will be installed. If the workshop is made from timber & straw, then we don't need nearly as much electricity on the land as if we were building out of sticks & using power tools. We could then easily potentially wait until the workshop is complete before investing in the solar system. The other primary consideration, besides Destiny Community Consensus Process, is money, or rather funding. We are still only halfway to our solar fundraising goal of $25,000 for the solar array, with two other big building projects along the way. Until funds are found or borrowed, the solar system will likely wait.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

here's a look at the camp in march 2010. the latest cutting has opened up a fantastic view to the valley. we always knew it was there but couldn't see it. the clearing helps bring sunlight to the garden and to the north west wall of the kitchen which will help keep the north wall dry. <p>the second photo is a panorama from where the future dining room is planned.

the design blog has been asleep for quite a while, but the faeries at destiny have been wide awake and at work. we'll be reporting here on the progress at the kitchen, bathhouse, new buildings and on the forestry here over the winter, and will be bringing new design ideas for yet-to-be-consented buildings to you as they develop.
<p>
four pictures here show how the land has changed with the beginning of our forestry efforts. faerie camp destiny is largely conserved forest land managed with the help of two wonderful foresters, don and nina huffer. working with bambi, primarily, they have developed a plan to promote forest health, which not only benefits the forest but saves us a bundle in property tax, as the management of the forest is considered agriculture by the state. we also took advantage of having a logger on the land to complete the opening up of the development area, a roughly five-acre area in total (about 2.5 acres was opened up three years ago) in which we've agreed to contain all our development. the development area was consented at the 2005 annual meeting (i think) and is the basis of our state environmental permit. the remaining 160-acres of destiny will remain managed forest land. the opening has provided a fantastic view (we've known it was there for a long time), just about doubles the amount of sun the garden, kitchen, and meadow gets which will help keep our structures light and dry and ultimately assist in solar electric and hot water.

<div class="pixcol">The structure was complete 3 1/2 days !! A lot of muddy foundation digging. Some scary moments pushing up the first truss. Overall a fun time. We have many more pictures to share and will be putting them up soon. Im writing from a motel in the Berkshires between our visit to Hancock Shaker village and Mass MOCA. Chris
