Thanksgiving Update

Had a visitor fly into my tiny shed and land on the freezer. Of course, he had to leave a deposit on the floor.

This is kind of the state of the foundation this week. The plumbing has to go in next and get inspected, then the slab form and rebar go on top.

Boxes, pile O rebar, 2×12’s

This side of the farm is known as ‘the alley’. It really needs a deer fence, but I’m building little firewood and rain barrel storage stations that just so happen to be 8 feet tall. Once again, free pallets are being creatively repurposed. If I string a bunch of them together, I may end up with a deer fence.

This area is the ‘compost corner’ and again, I’m using pallets and cinderblock to create a deer barrier and a flatter work space.

Next pallet placed. It’s slow progress, but bit by bit it’s getting done.

I got tired of paying $18-24 for ribeyes. This is one of Costco’s big ribeye ‘primal cut’. Had to buy a bigger cutting board just to accommodate it! Much cheaper and I get to make them as thick as I want.

Ended up with 14 steaks

And they all fit into my tiny tiny freezer!

The guys have been at another job site dealing with trusses and the installation thereof. I’ve had a much appreciated week to myself. The last thing they did was to plonk rebar into all the pier holes.
