A Bust

 We had a good walk this morning stopping first at Spark and Rhonda's house to see the work Gabe is doing on the barn. 

When we reached Rachel and David's house we noticed her grass seed they planted is growing. 

After the walk came the work.  The freezer needed to be emptied and once emptied moved into the storage closet. Anna helped move it. We could not get it to fit across even though we had measured it. The closet is just not wide enough to turn it. We even tried setting it up on end but nope, no way to make it fit. Instead we put it along the north wall. Thankfully there was an outlet right there. Anna helped bring the frozen meat into the storage closet so I could put it back in the freezer. Anna was busy painting the second coat of gray paint on the stairs, the 2 support poles were painted black and then the trim was painted white.

Dan and Spark arrived to put up the screen for the praise singing after the hog roast. By the time I got back inside Dan was just finishing it up.

Below is a short video of his work.

Thankful for that manlift.

Later Phil and Nolan arrived to pull wire but that turned out to be a bust.  First the pipe needed to be found (that had been buried under gravel)  Both Nolan and Phil did a lot of digging.

They found the pipe but then the wire tangled and once that was fixed they still had trouble. Anna was helping with the wire while I was using the golf cart to pull but Braelyn needed to be taken to the dentist so I took Braelyn so Anna could keep working. When we got back from the dentist, Anna was just pulling in and told me they were not able to finish the job.  Mark and Mackenson spent the afternoon splitting that heavy oak then hauling it here for next year. 

Below is the pile for next year nicely tarped.

The wood shed is packed solid just leaving us enough room to walk inside to grab wood for this year.

I'm so thankful for a husband who provides such a wonderful way to heat our house. Mark and I left for church at 6:15 pm. David had the message on Luke 3 but taught us some history first. It was very interesting. If you would like to watch that click HERE. After church we joined the group at Culvers and had a very late dinner there. It was almost 10:00 pm by the time we finally got home.
