News bites
I hate to leave folks
dangling, so I feel obliged to give a heads up on a few projects which
don't yet merit a full post.
The wriggling worms didn't make it into my grubby little hands
Wednesday, but our buddy promised to mail us some soon. So
hopefully sometime in the next few weeks I'll get the worm bin up and
running!
In between cutting wood and a thousand other projects, Mark and I have
been working on our water problems all week. Mark got the big
pump in the creek running again, so our thousand gallon tank is full of
wash water. Meanwhile, I figured out that the reason our well
pump wasn't running was because it was unplugged, though I didn't get it
pumping since there's ice in the line.
The biggest part of the water project is burying the lines, which Daddy
warns must be done at a two foot depth to prevent freezing. I'm
so bad at judging the time it will take to complete farm projects, so I
put that on my agenda to complete for Wednesday --- the picture here
shows the 5% of the trench I've dug since then. Currently, we're
musing over whether it'd be cost effective to rent a ditch witch.
Finally, I got my web design, grant writing, and biological
inventorying website
up and running. Check it out, and give me a holler if you have
any projects to send my way! I'm at the stage where I could
really use some word of mouth pointing folks toward my consulting
business. Thanks in advance!
