With autumn’s chill deepening, we must finish the underground house before the first blizzard strikes. The reinforced earth walls need final sealing, and the insulated roof requires another layer of waterproofing. Inside, the ventilation shafts must be cleared and fitted with wind baffles to prevent icy drafts. We’re installing thermal curtains over the entry tunnel and stockpiling firewood near the stone hearth. Every seam, joint, and hatch must be airtight—nature offers no second chances. As the wind howls above, our shelter below will stand warm, dry, and secure. Time is short; every hour counts. Let’s work swiftly, together, to make this haven ready for winter’s fury.
