One medium sized cabin stood on the site when they occupied it. The main sleeping quarters remains in the hut. The other three walls and the ceiling are made of canvas tarps. It may sound flimsy but everything is taunt and it has a sound wooden frame that looks like it could survive most weather. It feels simultaneously temporary and permanent.
Someone continously maintains a fire in it.
A 5 gallon can with a valve like a thermos at the bottom and a connection to a water supply at the top always has hot water in it. When it gets low, they just open the valve and let more water in. 100 people can have hot tea all at once. Inside they served us tea and pancakes. With the wedding coming up everyone had something to do.
