Day 10 of Construction

Ethan has quite a busy week this week, so this morning I went out to the farm with the kids to check on the pigs.

When we pulled up, I was quite excited to see that our builders were back! Today they are working on the ends of the house. When I went back out at noon to spray the pigs down (it is HOT this week - high humidity and heat index over 100) they had one of the sides done already. They said that they hope to be completely done with the building by Wednesday.





Also, when I pulled up and hopped out of the truck this morning, there was a gravel truck that followed me in. I was quite confused for a bit since I hadn't ordered any gravel for the drive yet, but I soon found out that they were starting to bring the loads of rock and sand for the septic system. Good news for us girls on the farm!Other than that, I picked some more berries during my morning trip before it got too hot. I will put these in the freezer and combine them with my next picking so I am sure to have enough for all blackberry jam.

The second picture is from 10:30 am on Tuesday. They were just finishing putting the last siding pieces on the peak when I pulled up. They were also working on the soffit on the mudroom.

I'm cautiously excited - we've been thinking it is close to the end for a while now. Hopefully we'll be pounding nails soon ourselves though!

Blackberry pie or cobbler is wonderful too with some vanilla bean ice cream. YUMMY!
