Well folks I've had a busy week, installed an outside plug and tap to the N side of the home, made a small retaining wall for one of upper managements front gardens. Lots of other small things nothing interesting though. Things I have discovered we only have peasant net at Gothichome, and our walls are over twenty inches thick. Still waiting for my pics to load with this dam peasant net. Maybe pics by tomorrow.

I've been doing a lot of farm work , dragging the riding arena, dragging the pastures, getting 458 bales of hay in barn for winter etc. The shutters & trim on the house is getting a new coat of paint.

Well folks, got the large outside barn light disconnected today. Been meaning to do that for a couple of years. For the first time in I don't know how many decades the night will actually be dark. We've also had for the second night in a row a mass hatching of fish flies. And of course they were attracted by the millions to the light. Spent an hour or two with a shovel getting rid of the carcasses, and gezzz if they didn't stink.

Well folks Gothichomes new roof has been delayed for a month. The fancy shingles are still in transit. Some thing about an Old Vic in Texas using up the spare supply. Been keeping busy though, almost finished upper managements secret garden. Starting to see the bottom of the catch up list. As soon as I get our new moat/drawbridge finished I can get to work on windows again.
