Yesterday Missus had us down to town to pick up some supplies she needed for the Artist’s business. We also went to see a couple of cars on the used market.
I did my chores when we got home then put the five-foot log from the log stack onto the sawmill. I kept that simple and took a couple of four quarter boards then made a cant out of the middle. The final measurements were ten inches square by five feet long. After cleaning up the sawmill mess, I sealed the ends of the cant, but it is still our on the forks of the tractor this morning.
I might cut it in half and use it for the base of a little shed to store fuel in. I’d like to have a little shed just for fuel to keep it away from all of the other buildings and yet still shaded in the canisters. The shed would not amount to much more than a set of shelves with well vented walls and a roof to keep all the fuel cans and some of the oils and such in. Might seem like overkill, but I don’t have the space for the stuff in the shop or the barn, and I’d like to make it fire-safe by keeping it away from the valuable buildings. I’d also like to keep it light enough to possibly lift with the pallet forks so I could move it about if needed. Just set the bolsters that I’d cut from this cant on a few cinderblocks, and there we go.
It is early Thursday morning. I will deliver the girls to the school bus stop shortly, then we have help coming by to target Missus’s cottage for clean-up. She is going to try to organize and get her workspaces so she can find things easier. It’s going to be a busy day! This cleaning project may just end at the cottage door, or it might extend into a few other places.
Lastly before I end, I need to figure out a place in the yard to put up a gourd tunnel. I have got enough cattle panels to do twenty feet of it. I’ll need to till a spot then drive t-posts and wire the panels to them. I’d like to till a couple of times over a few weeks before putting in the tunnel. I’d also like to see it in where the garden hose is close by. We’ve only one hydrant on the place, so that really narrows the options.
Time to get the day started. Have a good one yourself!
