Natural Gas

Yeah! they brought the line under the road

they came out on a Saturday, 

so happy we may have heat before it gets to cold

 

Temperature fluctuations

Friday it was a warm day

warm enough to be in a T-shirt

a good day to clean up some garden produce

Then the clouds rolled in, this is one side of the house

and this is the other side

a deep blue sky

a scary looking storm cloud

but we only got a violent driving rain

 

Update house

 

garage, windy and cold

but now the doors are in

and the garage almost done

inside drywall

outside a plan for landscaping

wine

making wine again

 

Ceiling Job

Drywall carried inside

Truscor delivered

moving fast

In the meantime the garage is getting a ceiling too

washable, so really nice

 

Pasture

It's time to go inside for the vetcheck

but the cows are a bit reluctant

they love being outside

 

Timely Work

On Saturday Daryl put in the pipes for the 

central vacuum for the insulation was going in

Harold came because he'd seen that the bricks and 

stones were delivered and 

"these guys need water"

I'm impressed with how well the trades work together

 

Better Windows and Doors
