new work ethics thanks to... work ethics

after the hitchhiker craze (which still has some aftershocks, like the guy that showed up in the middle of the night and left running some hours later), work has been flowing nicely thanks to D and our new HelpXer. HelpXers, even when just passing by, have a much better work ethic than couchsurfers (seems obvious, doesn't it?). the fact that now the house has 6 people, 5 workers has made it much better to stay and live in. guests are more and more saying things like "feels like home" and "feels cozy". it only gets this way because people clean and work for it permanently. besides that, raves and parties are going on without fights, just interesting, happy conversations and good mood.

but the main thing is that our new culture of work makes people want to work, makes everyone more creative, and makes the freeloaders feel awkward. not that it makes freeloaders work (good luck with that) but it does offset that behavior and makes it marginal, not the main feel of the house.

D is going crazy workaholic, so they're building a pool out in the back, and they want to build a garden all over the place. we definitely need more soil to green up the place.
