I let wood piles meander through the land more and more. I love how it looks.
Every Other Year
It seems as though we build something substantial every other year. This construction season, we are building a deck and focusing on siding (which is very much overdue).
Ken is back to help me plant piers
Chatting about what to do where
Some piers go in very close to the house and septic pipes. Having an actual toilet is still something new here, and we want to keep it this way by not crushing the septic pipes.
Esther is fascinated by the “big tractor”
It’s going to be a big deck 🙂
We also planted 3 piers by the Sugarhouse to extend its coverage of equipment. The piers will be ready for me whenever I get inspired.
Ken helped us plant 32 piers so far, including the 9 first piers which got us in a tiny house in the middle of a very rough land. I’m extremely bummed to hear him talk about retirement, and extremely happy to hear him compliment how much we’ve done here.
Feeling Wealthy in more Certain Times
Between the housing market, the empty nurseries, and how hard it’s been getting compost; all signs point to the pressure Vermont is receiving from pandemic migrants.
Finally though, after months and many phone calls, we were able to score a truck load of compost, from a super cool local farm at that!
