Not much has been getting done at the farm lately.  Weekdays are great, but the weekends keep turning soggy.  I did get our first circuit of lights installed, so that we have the possibility of working past dusk for once.  We all have been planting, weeding, and tending to the gardens that seem to love this type of weather.

I got another small piece of sill fixed, so we can start wrapping around to the ‘greenhouse’ side of the crib.  I really need to finish the siding on the ends first.  That will be next.

Today was also the first day of work on the downtown building.  The WHAT?  Yes, we own a building in downtown Jefferson.  No, there are no immediate plans for a coffee house.  We have business tenets, and they are welcome to stay there.  The upstairs, like most of the buildings in Jefferson, has been neglected for years.  We got a leak in the roof fixed, which we verified today as fixed.  But years of empty neglict takes it’s tolls.  Plaster has fallen from the exterior brick walls, different parts of ceiling – mainly tiles – fave fallen, plus all kinds of trash.  I had a dumpster delivered, and unfortunately filled it quickly.  We could have used two of them.  Running a broom, and in some cases a shovel, through the place made a massive difference.  Getting rid of old nasty bits of blankets, a mattress, boxes, broken furniture gave me a huge amount of hope.  From not seeing the floors, to seeing how great the wood really is gives a huge sign of relief.

We’ll have to start taking pictures once it’s sunny again.
