This summer I:
*Replaced the top section of the chimney insert.
*Painted the house a dark Green with a light trim.
*Put 3 very big beams in the Barn.
*Put a Sump pump system under the house and trenched the line 50 feet away.
*Had heating ducts put in every room and a Furnaces put in (it’s big).
*Put in a new Toilet and sheep rocked and painted most of one of the bath rooms.
*Added a nice split rail fence garden over and around the septic system.
*Put a metal “I” beam in the living room ceiling. This was a big job.
*Put in 6 or 7 concrete footings under the house. Not much room to work.
*Put new clear roof covering over most of the wraparound porch, about 20 of those 2x9 foot wavy plastic sheet. Now I can see the ran fall…lol.
*Worked on the fence. Bought 100 more split rail posts so got more to do.
*Prune on the fruit trees, some are over a 100 years old and needed it.
*Rented a 26ft U-haul and took a lot of stuff from the basement of the Tacoma place to the farm.
*Setup for a 65ml long Garage Sale they have every year on Hwy 112. $400. J

I got a lot done but feel bad because we lost some good members and maybe if I was here I could have done something. Next Summer I will have a person in place to take over for me.

Next year I want
Add more wood beams and sheet rock the living room, Touch up and paint all walls inside the house, Update the look of the kitchen, Replace a the carpet and add floor tilling in the kitchen, dinning room and Apt., Do the Rock work around the new wood stove and add a wood stove for the house and one for the Apt. I need to add a Swage pump so I can pump from the back of the Apt. to the Septic tank. I also want to upgrade the power form 200 amp to 300 amp and upgrade the Garage and Apt…………..

So what did you do this summer?

Thanks for making me feel bad. lol, i did jack crap this summer besides working.

last summer we build a ~ 100ftx6ft porch around 2/3rd or so of the house.. put in ~ 100 railroad ties for landscaping, finished the master bath tiling.

this summer took ~ 2000sq ft of old corrugated sheet metal of the hay barn - of course it was one of the few days it rained and was cold... weeded, weeded and weeded some more. planted a few trees. weeded some more. replaced the pantry door tracks as the stupid subcons used the wimpy 60lb door tracks for 80+lb doors...(surprised they lasted as long as they did). fenced in part of the porch so the kitties can hang out outdoors. Started on a 80ft privacy wall/fence - just need to stucco it now. weeded some more.
