Transcript of Video
Bree: in the previous episode, we built the dragon head frame and fill it in with foam on the dragon rocket stove. using the form, Shae can now began the dragon sculpting.
Bryson: we are cobbing in the
She: the "hornacopia". Well dad, is it looking like you thought it would?
Gary: Ya, absolutely!
Bryson, man that looks cool. That looks so cool.
Gary: poking a wire in here and in here.
Bree: there's a little concerned about using the insulation foam. Shae and Bryson are going to use some safety test. It is always best for the two youngest do that.
Shae: di you want to try a smaller piece?
Both: Naw....
Shae: Huh?
Bryson: I guess it is not ....
BOOOM
Shae: If anyone asks, This was your idea.
Bryson: So we have confirmed that that it does actually ignite. The flame has to be constant. Other wise it will just burn out. So the fumes would definitely not be that good to breath in.
Shae: Smells good.
Shelly: Shae...
Shae: What?
Shelly: Don't be sniffing that. it is dangerous
Shae: I did...It smells good.
Bryson: It is not that bad. Oofda!!
Shae: Oooo. It does reak!!!!
Shelly: So What are you doing here Shae?
Shae: Do you like that with the ridges?
Shelly: I do. That's our sheet rock mud huh?
Shae:Ya.
GAry: So We are deciding what to sculp and what to build on the basic structure we have built on.
Shelly: I am ready for an extra batch my darling who can t find anything.
Shae: are you still making fun of me?
Shelly: ya. I thought i dropped a piece of cob on dad's head. but it is a scab.
Bree: That is where i dropped a can on his head.
Shae: there is funny and then there is Shae. I'm just sculpting up the dragon face right now.
Gary: I'm doing the legs right now. That are going to be in the front like a reverse type of leg. like on an eguanna or lizards. know caps will be right about in this area. the leg will come back and then there will be foot. with claws...
Shelly: Did you see this little foot. look how cute it is...
Bree: it is adorable.
Shae: I am making art.
Shelly: i know but what is it?
She one of the things you are not suppose to do is to say to an artist..."Oh. that is so cool....what is it?
Shelly: we believe in you.
Bree: 3 on one side and 4 on the other. i'm just stating the obvious.
Shelly: Are you carving another toe?
Gary: Yes. another toe. the poor dragon only had 3 toes.
SHae: there are a few empty spaces on the rocket stove. So you have kind of the dragpn. there are two ledges, they are pretty blank. with nothing on them. I'm thinking we could put some baby dragons on them.
Gary: Does that make our dragon a female dragon?
Bree: I guess'
Shae: It could be a protective dad. So I'm going to try to build up a little vcob here.
Gary: it could have long eye lashes. Curly eye lashes.
Shae: it could be a protective dad....
Gary: Ya. lets not leave out the guys in this...
Shae: it is an it. here is th tail and I'm about to head because that is important. so... slightly...no so much that you notice.
GAry: The scales like this here.I'm not sure how these ar made.
Shae: I have really liking what you have doing.
Shelly: We can see right through the hole.
Gary: we have some things to work on. What is going to happen around the dragon.
Bree: Dad has this great idea. to these little sphere rocks things all around the dragon guy. it is simple.there is no sculpting. it is just making little round sphere things all around. we have some issues though...we have to attach them too to the rest of it...an these keep coming back off. they took some plunges...so we had to rebuild.
Shelly: she is fixing my mess.
Bree: no problem no problem no problem. I like the look of it. It is looking good dad. good call.
Gary when we were first looking at earth bag structures, I guy did a structure that had a complete wall made of balls that were softball size. And he had done a complete wall.
Bree: Oh...that would look really cool.
Gary: there was no design really to it. it was really cool
Bree: what i really love is curve like really defined...of the clay. you can see the nice curve, the curvature of the the earth. that is really cool.
Gary: we have the mouth to get started...and with that we have teeth some lips and stuff...nose...nostralls
Shae: Steve came over today..we were working on the wing. I was not being as gentle as needed to be... and it hadn't had time to dry...the whole thing fell off.
Steve: He lost it in the great battle. That is all i have to say.
Shae: why did that one stay so nice. Maybe i should have waited..
Steve: Maybe?...
Shae: We had to rebuild the wing. and then that fell off. so I'm redesigning it a little. to take a different shape.
Bree: Dad came up with this concept tp use a brush. And he was noticing that ...Sometimes water will take off all the silt and look ugly. with the paint brush, ir keeps the silt there. We went over the entire thing. we are doing that.
Gary: A désign for the leg ....
Bree: Im excited how it will come out.
Bree: I didn't know you were going to to do lips and teeth. Thought it was going to be just the top. whoa. I love that. when there is fire gets in there. it going to be cool.
GAry:I just ordered the eyes too...
Bree: it is going to be so cool. and bring some life to the dragon.
Bree: Stay tuned for next time, as we put the final touches on the dragon rocket stove. Oh Ya, we also have that live podcast on february 22nd at 6 pm pacific. Hope t see you there. and have a wonderful week;

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
