Beaming

Got a lot done this week. Started on the chicken coop and finished the garage beam project. The coop is complicated and the beam was heavy, but it came from the white pine that was once growing in our backyard. Also got the bearings in the trailer greased. Sure was difficult getting a few of those lug nuts off! 

Last Sunday we went for a walk along the Yellow Dog River and had lunch in Big Bay. It was a lot of fun. The girls and I also went down to Escanaba on Friday to cut the lawn and water some plants. We stopped at Dominic's to see the farm and mill up a bit more cedar. One round left. Still no chicks. We also rescued a skunk that had fallen into the window well. That was a bit scary!

The girls had fun with a friend this week and made lots of boats for the stream. They are testing out different designs. It has been a rather chilly week, so the garden hasn't grown much, but this week it will heat up so things should change quickly. Finally got a new dehumidifier and it makes a big difference!


Fun at the Yellow Dog River.

More cedar!
