Very smart! Thanks!

Next project is getting the rest of the metal roof installed on the house. With all of the rain we’ve had (and ANOTHER 5-7” on its way this week, AARRGH!) I was DELIGHTED to tell Beau that there is a leak in the ceiling at the top of the stairs!

He said, ‘Well, I guess I HAVE been living on borrowed time.’

Yeah? No chit, Sherlock, LOL! This roofing project is in YEAR SEVEN!

Again, I choose my battles. I can go live quite happily in my Greenhouse, LOL!

Likewise in my barn. BTW I turn always turned the water off for the winter going down to the barn and we would carry the water for the goats. The line is buried but not that deep. I just finished a 3 week project refinishing my mom’s sewing machine cabinet down in the barn and I used that sink every day. When I was younger they used to call me the “queen of juryrig”. We have had so much rain too. Our creek is roaring. Not much left in the garden but some beautiful Italian parsley which keeps growing, and a little broccoli and some peppers. I’ve dried a huge batch of parsley already and filled up a pint canning jar with a shaker top. Looks like I can do that again easy. Hope the roof project keeps moving along.
