The neighbors’ free-range goats love when we pick our persimmons for them.
The drought in California should be officially over now, courtesy us… remodeling a house. Rain, rain, and more rain. Our shingles were delivered this week. The exterior is sheeted and they were able to roll out the paper on the roof, but that’s where the weather-proofing ended until the weather lets up. The progress seems slow, but I know that’s due to living in a small trailer when it’s dark, cold and wet outside.
Last week we also ordered the windows, which meant making some final decisions on shapes, grids, and sizes. Soon there will be a lot more choices to make. I can’t wait to start the big-time shopping in January. Right now, we’re just trying to find room in the trailer to stash Christmas gifts, and keep everything under the carport dry. The crew disconnected our carport, which is nice because we can keep it for storage for a bit longer. They added some extra bracing, but we’ll see how it fares through this storm, which is supposed to have huge wind.
Here are a few photos of the progress- I know it looks rough, but it’s starting to take shape!
