Our group on Rihula is slowly shrinking and the tent city on the meadow is getting smaller as well. After the departure of Tobias, Rüdiger and Bettina, whom we bid farewell with our well-practiced farewell ceremony, there are only seven of us left on the farm. Nevertheless, this doesn't stop us from tackling and completing other construction sites.

After another productivity boost, the main house is finally free of plaster. Great progress is also being made on the barn roof. While Bettina shovels sand out of the loft, Rüdiger and Lionel are in their element: gardening! There is also a praise for the kitchen!

It's a bit crazy. We founded our association over a year ago and today we finally have a bank account. Why did it take so long? You certainly don't want to know that exactly, because that would be a rather long and complicated story. Here's the short version: ...

After the 'Bergfest', work continues. The new team first has to familiarize themselves with the many construction sites, but nevertheless has a really productive first few days: The barn roof is stripped, plastering work is completed, and at the same time progress is made in the garden. Even Motte the dog is clearly feeling at home.

We celebrate the end of the first half of our construction project with a 'Bergfest'. To our surprise, a lot of guests arrive - we even have visitors from Helsinki. After a glass of sparkling wine and some good food, we manage to communicate, sometimes in Estonian, sometimes in German, English or Russian.
