(oh, and a home-brewed beer, too!)

Big bubba sittin’ with his baby bro before school watching the front loader action in the front yard. Hey, this is exciting stuff to a 4-year old, ya know! Actually, it’s pretty exciting for the adults, too. This means progress on the house! #sabbaticalprojects #finishingthehouse

It has begun

It’s official, my friends! Today was THE official Day 1 of construction on the house project (I won’t bore you with all the gory details of why the whole thing was delayed because no one could value a strawbale home in order to give it a proper market appraisal so that we could get a home equity loan - sigh. Suffice it to say that that’s all taken care of now - phew).

So, the first step in the puzzle is to finish the strawbale workshop shed (likely a 6-week project) in order to move all the freezers (that house the broiler chickens, lamb sausage, and beef) out of the second floor of the house.

Today Phil spent the day cleaning out the workshop shed in preparation for the electrician to come tomorrow.

Keep watching, folks, it’s gonna get good!

I forgot to share yesterday that Phil and Fin made this scrumptious Sweetlove Farm Eggs Benedict yesterday for Mother’s Day. Ham and sausage from our pigs and eggs from our chickens. #impressive #freshfood

Ever wonder what it looks like when Phil moves the laying hens’ pen each day? Well here ya go. Check out how happy the ladies look when they get moved onto new grass. You can just hear them laughing with glee!
