Farm update

I just spent a couple of days at the land. I have the shed painted, it still looks pretty rough. I'm happy to say that my makeshift water collection system seems to be working well and the 55 gallon rain barrel is about half full! I guess if you do enough something is bound to work half well.

Other than that I've started cutting up the cedar rails for the bunkie. We probably have half the rails we need already. now we just need to get the truck fixed so we can get the rest and pick up our trees. I'm not optimistic that the bunkie will get done this fall though. I'm thinking it will be November before we can seriously get to work on it and we can't do the mortar if there is going to be frost so it will take some luck. That would be too bad too since I was really hoping to have somewhere solid to stay for working over the winter.

My offer still stands, Bro. I got a working truck, and I can find time.
