Busy and Productive Weekend

Alex - Prom 2010 - St. Benedict High School
Barn Project as of 4/18/2010
Cris working hard.


Working on the rafters

The weather could not have been more beautiful this weekend. High 60's, Low 70's, nice breeze and party cloudy so the sun was behind clouds off and on. Saturday morning Cris picked up a harrow that he found on Craigslist and then we headed out to the farm. We got about 2 hours work done on the farm before having to head home to get Alex ready for the prom.

After Alex left for the prom, we picked up 2 loads of mulch and mulched the flower beds in the front and back yard of the house and planted some flowers. It was nice to be home before dark on a weekend for a change.

Sunday we worked some more on the barn and Cris added more frames to the beehive because those bees are very productive. I can't wait to start harvesting some honey.

The dogs managed to find 3 frogs...we think Teddy may have ate one but the rest we rescued and threw in the woods.

Next weekend we plan to finish up the framing for the roof, add the metal roofing and then start on the outside walls. If all goes well, we should have a barn ready to be painted by the first weekend in May.
