We have had a busy week! Still going in fact...thought I would take a wee bit of a break to write ya! We started out the week with getting things cleaned up.  #1-Mtn Man and The Kid got the posts in the ground for my grape arbor. Cemented in so they will take a beating! #2- Then they went to work on getting the seat part in the out house. That takes some special doing to keep things in order when you are sittin on the throne. Sitting on it a few times to make sure it will hold some weight and is it wide enough for the big sitters. Steady enough for those who like to hang out a bit. Ya know, some serious contemplating on making sure it is the right size for all who visit! #3- I didn't mention the HEAT has been horrible around these parts!! Heat Index over 100 for days!! #4- Late afternoon yesterday we had a cool front come through.....so so nice!! #5- Today the guys, Mtn Man and Monkey Man, are getting to work on my She Shack! Wahoo!! Monkey Man threw a line in...

Let me start by saying that this blog started out as a record for my family to follow while living in Montana then turned into a farm record plus keeping others updated in Missouri and now has turned back into the record keeping for our family once again. I am sure as time goes on this blog will have it's ups and downs! Ok so we have got ourselves into another cycle of building. #1- We have been indecisive over horse pasture because our 50 acre lease pasture has had some logging done to it over the summer and there is some pasture left but really needs to be left alone to recoup. So we put out heads together and have decided to fence off our pastures here at the house. We started the post holes.... using what we have right now which is cedar posts. #2- Well is an ongoing process of decisions. Remember back when I said something about building a cabin on the hill out back? We are back to taking the back half of this house and making into a functioning little house. Mtn Man inv...

This has been a busy week! Ending with Hot Hot Weather! I guess summer decided to make it's appearance! Laundry hanging on the line for the first time this year! BBQ Pork with vegie dish The other wall up! Now for some doors. Had to run to the Big W today for a new air conditioner. Our other one was running on its last leg along with a little help from Mtn Man. We had it for at least three years now so a new one is in! We gathered all the burn barrels and loose trash we have built up over the last few months. Dropped it off at the local transfer station along with another snake! This was two times we have dropped off a snake for the transfer station. Not on purpose of course just that they end up on the truck! Not gonna take them back home!! Hope you all have a great weekend!  We may have to go find a water hole to sink into...... Love hearing from ya!!!!

Sorry I haven't written in couple days.  I had to look back to see where we left off....the guys were putting the last of the floor board down. Next morning they got themselves organized again and off they went to put up the outside wall. Note to self do not stand behind a wall that a nail gun is being used on! Missed me by inches!!  They got the wrap on in the nick of time! It rained "cats & dogs" within secs of the last staples in the plastic! Will cut out doorway when we are ready for door. Now the other wall needs to be built........ Yesterday we went over to the folks house and helped put in a water softener. While I myself went fishin'! No fish today. With Tator's help of course!

We loaded up the bucket with rock for our non structural wall and commenced to filling in the gap at the bottom! Gathered creek rock then hosed them down so the concrete would stick to them Add this little tidbit ...he added dry concrete here with a dab of wet on the very top closest to the wall to help it set. Then sprayed it lightly with water just on the top....give it a couple days will be solid. Whatcha think? Now we start the floor for the tool part of the shop!! We picked up supplies today and we are off! Love hearing from ya!!!! FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK TOO! https://www.facebook.com/adventuresofmylife Copyright © 2015 M.E.
