A strange surge of weather in the 40s and 50s, combined with a few special visits from
Better Farm friends, allowed a lot of work to get done in this unseasonably warm spell—from cleaning up the grounds to deep-cleaning some chicken coops to putting the finishing touches on some DIY carpentry projects. Here's a brief rundown of what we've been up to.
Here's Greg cutting some trim boards for the last of the master bath project:
...and here's the trim on the wall and ceiling (more master bath photos coming soon!):
Here's Jackson getting quilled by a dead porcupine we found under the deck:

Not to mention (unpictured) installing new hanger straps to support water pipes in the basement, the felling of some standing-dead trees and subsequent wood-splitting, a chicken coop-cleaning party, batten strip installation on the second floor of the barn, and more. Stay tuned for more pictures!
