Here's what we've been up to.....

Like I promised, here are the pictures of (some of) the projects we have been working on this summer.


The pole barn was in shambles when we purchased the property almost 6 years ago. Bizarrely enough, it was the sturdiest of all the building on the farm. (The others are still "in process.") But we removed the old concrete floor that was obviously from an earlier structure, and poured new. Added the 9 foot lean-to on the east end, then re-steeled everything. JUST LIKE NEW!


This is the arbor structure Craig built over the patio.

The plan is to plant trumpet vine so it grows across the top and the sides for the humming birds. The planting will have to wait until spring now. I want to insure good growth, and I don't think warm weather is going to hold out up here long enough for that to happen.

What do you think of it??


Craig and our great friend Rob installed the insulated water lines for our wood boiler this weekend. And once again the yard is a disaster!

Tear up lawn, reseed lawn, tear up lawn, reseed lawn....
It seems to never end. :0)




Thanks for looking....
