June 13, 2010 – Dominoes
OK, now that the garage is in process of tear down, the dominoes start falling. The stuff in the garage has to go somewhere. One place will be on these newly constructed shelves in the corn crib. Then there’s the old kitchen cabinets, countertops and the like in the garage, full of canning jars and ...Read more.
November 11, 2007 – Corn Crib Phase Finished
One project now falls off the list – the east side of the corn crib! Here’s what the east side looked like a few weeks ago. Here it is today – all done except for putting the rake and corner on the corners. But now when the east winds blow mist and rain for days, ...Read more.
November 2, 2007 – The Next Project
Because I just don’t have enough things going on at once, I’ve started to side the last remaining unsided part of the corn crib. In truth, certain projects lend themselves to different weather. This is something that is slated to be completed before winter. It’s a good project to do on a day with no ...Read more.
June 5, 2007 – Farm View Series #2 SE Corner
Today is the second in a series of views of the farm. I went to each corner of the property (and the midpoints) and took photos in different directions. The following views are from the SE corner of the property. Â This is from the SE corner shooting diagonally towards the NW. You’ll notice the ...Read more.
December 9, 2006 – More Siding
Today was the first warm day since I moved the scaffolding to the north side of the corn crib and was able to get the most challenging (highest) pieces up and start down on the other side. Here I’m tearing down the third section high after already tearing down the fourth section high. I’ll be ...Read more.
November 26, 2006 – South Side Sided
I spent most of the day cutting and putting up siding with Linda’s strategic help. I was pleased to finish this side! Emma thought it was pretty funny when I’d call Linda on the cell phone from up on the top level of scaffolding to help hold a piece or retrieve a fresh battery pack. ...Read more.
November 25, 2006 – Corn Crib Siding
Now that the scaffolding is no longer needed on the house, we moved it to the corn crib. We previously put new metal on the roof, one side, and parts of two other sides. Now we can work on the high part on the ends. It sure beats climbing up and down a ladder with ...Read more.
March 10, 2006 – Photo Friday: Red
This week’s Photo Friday contest theme is red. Here’s a shot of the newly sided corn crib. geovisit();
March 6, 2006 – Lots of Odds and Ends
For some reason, it seems like lots of things got wrapped up today. Finished some shelves in the corn crib and moved some of the beekeeping stuff that isn’t accessed very much. Got almost a full load of scrap metal in the truck – old woven wire fencing, old gutters, old pipes, and leftover metal ...Read more.
December 31, 2005 – Corn Crib Renovation
Another one of the “b list” items off the list today. The corn crib has three interior sections – one on each side used to store the corn and a middle section for equipment. We’ve already converted the middle section to a basketball court. The two sides have large boards running diagonally like large X’s ...Read more.
November 11, 2005 – Up on the Roof
Work continues up on the roof of the old machine shed. Although it’s not the best view from a roof on the property (the house and corn crib are pretty tough to beat), the scene from on top is at least another perspective. I’m working on a series of pictures of the roofing job that ...Read more.
November 7, 2005 – Lulled Asleep?
It was another day 20 degrees above normal. Morning was work and errands and this afternoon could do some “farming” outside. The weather has lulled me, but the calendar says Nov 7, so I started getting the farmstead ready for winter – took in some of the electric netting fence and rigged up a hanging ...Read more.
November 6, 2005 – Corn Crib Done Until Spring
I’ve completed the goal to get one side of the corn crib sealed from the elements so I have a place to store lumber instead of boards scattered about in nearly every building. It looks kind of silly this way, but now it is on to roofing part of the old machine shed. I also ...Read more.
October 26, 2005 – Corn Crib Project
Now that the steel has arrived, I am beginning work on the corn crib. This fall, I’m going to put steel siding on about half the building and do the rest next year. I built some racks inside one section of the crib to store lumber and need to keep the water and snow out ...Read more.
