Sustainability isn't just something that you're working towards, it's how you do

the work as well. If you're working in a way that is, you know, consistently hard

on the body, it's going to wear your body down and, at some point, you'll lose the

ability to work. Not too long ago, I had a back strain. They thought it was a

bulging disc and that took me out of commission for probably about three

weeks or so, so you know those kind of setbacks are a pretty big deal when

you're trying to set up a whole life from scratch. So what I'm trying to learn

now is how to work smarter and not harder and to make sure that I'm

allowing the body to rest as it needs and to stretch it as it needs, and it

also means that I just have to look for the best way to do things that put the

least strain on the body. Right now we're moving the dirt into our back space. This

dirt will be our subfloor and I've already covered over a lot of the kind

of loose areas - areas of loose stuff. The white stuff is perlite. Perlite is a

puffed mineral that has some insulative value, so I put that in between the

cracks and wherever I thought there might be, you know, a lack in the

insulation and this is foam sheet insulation here, of course. So, now I'm

moving the dirt in and this is the system I've come up with. I'm currently

working by myself so to save my back the trouble of carrying all these buckets in

pairs over here I'm filling the wheel barrel up with them and the buckets are

a little bit less than half folds they're they're pretty manageable and

this way I can keep as much strain as possible off my back and I can maximize

the amount I'm able to move in here and here the speed I'm able to move it.
