The happy Nada Farmer, doing pretty well considering the handicaps, but most because of the "physical help" of others.
Keep coming back , page fifteen follows......soon .
The saga continues!
This is the second page downloaded from home on a dial up connection, more pictures this time. As there has been so much happening and I have been so tired at night there hasn't been time to update on a regular basis. But now as things get slower due to finished projects, shorter days, and cooler nights, I'll be updating in a more timely manner!
So here we go! Things accomplished in the last three months:
Garage wired, sort of ! Enough to allow the compressor and 3 phase converter to function. And kept the existing lights and wall sockets available to run the things already set up.
I also got a truck functional, to help moving things around the property.
I resurrected one of the Gravely Tractors to use for mowing paths around the area, and I am working to get another one running to plow with. (The picture below is a sort of a cheat, the one nearest is the one I was using, the one behind it I traded for a welding project in 2014, but the original picture was lost in the move somewhere so I made a new one. See I do occasionally check this mess over.)
I have been running the poor old Cub Cadet to death, and have a second one, project quality, waiting in the wings, to be put into service as I get the parts and time.
I have been collecting steel wall material
and insulation, thanks to Russ,
that will be used to enclose the garage, which as you can see has a few air gaps.
We had a septic system installed, finally, for the little house, which means we are now in debt, another five thousand dollars, not in the original budget, and puts the Tractor that much farther away. but as it is NADA Farm, that's really not as big an issue as some might think...
this little spaceship looking thing is the top of a fiberglass tank which is a mechanical aerator system that replaces the open pipe into the field, that had worked for free for the last two thousand years, and replaces the pigs that kept things sanitary and profitable. Sounds like a step backward to me, but what do I know?
Man, are we happy out here!
