There is a strong market for lodging before a faire, be it die hard rennies, families, or handicap attendees.
But what structures works? Balance of cost, speed of construction, labor input, materials, and cooling costs for summer.
For housing for groups, you need 55sq ft per bunk bed. So 200sq ft for 6 people, 800sq ft for 26 people.
Masonry structures are more expensive, but cool, quiet, stormproof, and low maintenance
Earthbag houses are cost effective but more labor.
The ‘Gargoyles’ are added. But they are really called grotesques given that they do not channel rain water. I’ve used oxide paint for the bases to match. There are 4 Grotesques, each is different from the others. The smallest is in the back where there is little light. I tell people they all were the same size when I installed them.
In other good news, the water that was getting into the shed has been fixed. It was mainly splash water hitting the door and running down and trapped inside instead off away from the structure. The next heavy rain should confirm that.
