Late summer limbo

Well, well, another late summer limbo. I just got cut loose from my regular job because there's no work right now. Maybe a new project will come in the next couple weeks, but until then its limbo time for the bank account. How low will it go? In the mean time, we'll just eat the bounty that God gives us--this years blackberry harvest has been a bumper crop.


Then there's always the church potluck fellowship meal. We made a not-so-spicy chili.



Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves in the basement of Sheepscot Valley Community Church. Next time we have a potluck, we'll have it outside if the weather's nice.


Then, of course, there's always work to be done over at the Land of Goshen. I've had a shed platform framed up for several months now, but the time has come to frame the rest of it. Here's a progress shot from yesterday. Walls are framed and boarded now, all the rafters are up, and now I'm framing the gables and gable overhangs. I've got a whole bunch of corrugated metal roofing coming on Tuesday to get the roof on. Hopefully I'll get it all finished by the end of next week. Then I gotta figure out how to pay my lumberyard bill! Maybe I'll sell that 12" sliding chop saw you see there!!

Stunning

Greetings,

A few empirical statistics on this site.

And people are still surprised that we have no television....

KT just got a book called Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander (no his name is not a joke...), 1978.

I just got two books. A little architectural history, the classic Big House, Little House, Backhouse, Barn by Thomas C. Hubka. A study of the connected farm buildings of New England.

I also got Starting and Running Your Own Small Farm Business by Sarah Beth Aubrey.

Back to the land. Need I say more?
