Well, I arrived home from Chicago to significant changes. Observe perfectly painted, drywalled ceilings. Also note that the electrician has started work.
Windows have also finally been installed. No more gaping holes in the wall.
And perhaps most exciting of all, some of the equipment has started to arrive. Like The Sink.
It's much larger than it looks in the picture. We also have tables, and more sinks, and even a pasteurizer on the way. Last but
certainly not least, the large empty pad of dirt will soon be a new BARN. A BIG one... This more than anything is going to make a huge difference in how smoothly things run around here. Needless to say, we can't wait to use it.
All this work has meant that the yard has been sorely neglected. It has been weeks since anyone mowed... Evan fought through some of it the other day, but I am still worried it will soon turn into a vicious jungle of a yard - waiting for us to wander unsuspectingly out into the grass and then quickly trapped in to the long grass and devoured...
But what's the loss of a kid or pet compared to finishing the project, right?

No Molly, were not quite there.............
The HVAC guys visited, and....
A steel headed octoventilator has taken roost.....
And our neighbor Chris has installed posts for..........
These lovely trusses, which will have a CoverAll Barn stretched over them.....
And it has been so hot, our doors have turned red..........
HVAC, electric, plumbing, painting, stainless, windows, doors, milkstands; It's already to long for a haiku. An epic poem would be more appropriate anyways, since it is closer, and somehow farther away now. We are tossed between the dairy inspector, the budget, the weather, the contractors, the vision............yet remains the singular goal; the License to Operate
