We started to do this yesterday, but we had to search hard for the right pipe and then Daniel left for the fire… so we were back at it again this afternoon. The location is next to the little A-frame well house. We are installing a solar pump to get water to a stock tank…

We have a little outbuilding nicknamed the Bunkhouse. It has lived more for storage than housing anyone. I’ve looked for some sort of asphalt siding to replace that which has fallen off the side, but they don’t evidently make the stuff anymore. My sister and I cleaned it out once, she wanted me to make…

It’s getting close. What else do you do over Labor Day but work? One more wall and the corners and it’ll be ready to take to the mountain. Yay!

While I’ve been working on my outhouse door, Vernon has been up on the mountain, digging another… you guessed it… water pipeline. This one is for Daniel. I finally had to drive up and have a peek before it was totally finished. 90% is complete. A spring from further up the hill will flow into…

You’ve seen “George” take shape… From layering cardboard… To figuring out wing position… To paper mache his distinctive bald eagle head… Then there were all those feathers, thankfully, V. cut them all out for me. Yesterday, George made his debut…

I took the time to have a good visit with Tuck this morning. She still will come sit on my hand which is nice. But she was brave enough to peck around in the coop until a cranky red hen pecked at her and she ran away. It will be another month before I’ll consider…

I had planned on cleaning my house, but Vernon called and wanted my opinion about the corral design, so I quickly and happily abandoned my dishes and drove to the corral rebuild. My design layout was not quite what was on the ground, so I needed to update it with new measurements. Since we will…

I’m *still* off loading photos off my phone and iPad… so… I drove down to see the progress. After much deliberation and drawings and what ifs and how abouts, we kind of have a new corral design. We researched and investigated and watched YouTube videos. We talked Bud Boxes vs. sorting tubs. We talked about…

And… my two latest projects. and…
