Electric and Some Insulation

Shop is progressing but slowly, the rough in electric was mostly approved by the inspector. Just have to bury the feed line as soon as the ground thaws enough to dig. The insulation subcontractor was here to put the stuff up that holds the insulation in. We are using blown in cellulose. Yesterday most of the shop got insulated and there was only about a half a day to finish but they never came back today. Our contractor was on the phone to see what the hold up is. We are scheduled to have dry wall loaded in via boom truck tomorrow and it may not happen since the insulation isn't done yet. Ah the joys of sub-contractors!

But we are making progress.

24 Hours

Yesterday was the first of March. Full on spring, mud season well underway and water everywhere. Ditches are starting to run high and we were able to use the pump to fill the horse and sheep water tanks from the pond. The driveway had actually started to dry out a bit. Mud around the house and barn was just getting going.

Today it's back to winter. Woke up to about 3 inches of new snow, wet heavy spring snow. It rained first so what little was dry is now mud under snow. Now it's starting to clear and the temperature is climbing. I bet this will melt fast.

Shop Electric

Jake's been working on installing the electric service for the shop. Lots of wires, outlets and switches to get installed. Still waiting for the garage door to come in. Stuff is moving along well though.
