It is a rewarding experience to build your own house (albeit a hut) and with your own hand and brain develop from what materials might be available the comforts you might want. For example: ,our shower is an old oil drum mounted atop four wooden legs, the table on• which I now write was a packing crate now so long ago:, two other tables ' in this room are pieces of board attached to a couple of tree limbs we have planted in the ground. "Our mattress was once flour sacks which have been.: sewn together and filled with straw, the frame of the house itself is made of tree limbs cut nearby and it is coveredwith grass and corn stalks. "Now I didn't construct all this myself, Is Thoivau did at Walden. I had the help of my Africanzemployee who retains manualskills we have long since forgotten in our culture and several that I doubt we ever possessed, "To keep all this in perspective I should mention that we brought a kerosene fridge and a gas stove along to our Walden, but many of the lessons remain valid..

They teach us that when we reed something, a real necessity, we don't have to go downtown and buy it -.it can be made somehow. "Most necessities are within our power to build. If we can't make it ourself, chances are itis not really necessary. When something break S or ire some way runs amuck, we can fix it. We need not call in a repairman or buy a new one. We are human because we have imagination and can think in abstract terms to develop,the answer to some problems or inconvenience which might be on our back. Next Day : The first of next week we start building the mud brick walls of the barns and I just discovered this afternoon that none of the men,have ever built with bricks before. They live in tents and round houses of cornstalks. Certainly I have never built anything with mud bricks either, so starting Monday we should have an excellent example of the blind leading the blind.
