Sorry about the delay in posting, Lucas starting working up at Thistledew again, so temporarily his schedule is back to 8 days gone, 12 days back.  Enjoy the new pics!

made a closet from a rachet tie down....

We have a light!  Lucas bought a car battery that can be inside, and a power inverter, so now we can use a true business lamp.

It's been a big week!

We've had lot's help from family this week.  There are two windows installed, and the outside is completely insulated.

This picture was taken from the loft!

Ladder pot rack

We now have a propane stove, and a sink set up.  There is a bucket under the sink to catch drainage, and we run water from the tank on the shelf.

This week we hope to insulate an inside wall, get rid of the mice, find the LED lights, add a front room, install block glass along the roof line, and move the bed up to the loft.

A few updates

Lucas installed a new door, it's starting to look like a home :)

The new generator!

The Grainery has Landed!!

Line it up just right!

The "yard" is kind of a muddy bog....

Ta Da!   Piece of cake.....

Foundation is in, it's moving today!

Cut in 2 & Ready To Go!

Lucas rocked through several 98 degree days last week and cut the roof in two, supported the interior beams on the structure, and saved the old wood for us to use later.  It's ready to move!!  Now we're waiting on a quote from some Amish people :)

 Here are a few shots of the grainery all cleaned out!   We're waiting to hear back from a company that moves buildings, and once it is on our site we'll install windows, insulation, and more...

                                                      Check out those 2 x 6 solid oak timbers :)

                     We will put a loft over these rafters for our bed, and then ad a dormer for more headroom

                      Lucas found the old wood stove amongst the random things inside the grainery, and is working on getting it into operating shape for winter.

                                  A lot of trees had to be cleared to make space to move the grainery in.

The Garden Begins!

  Peppers, sweet corn, butternut squash, zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and more....I hope it works!
