House changes are definitely more subtle now, the latest is getting the grading done around the house and putting in our concrete. It's very nice to have the use of our front door now and it's also helping a lot with the mud.
Here H is modeling one of our retaining walls, which was part of the grading work.
Here Z enjoys the freshly poured concrete ramp out front.
We've also been working on the trim in our house, here is trim with the quarter round we installed on it.
We also are at the beginning of our production season, so here Ryan is rolling up some polyline in front of our chicken tractors.
I was helping gather posts for him.
Z and H were out there "helping" too.
The other major event around here is that yesterday we hosted a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day on high tensile fence building. We had a little over twenty attendees come to learn about building fence and eat lunch at our new farm!
As you would expect, it was exciting and stressful and fun, and Ryan did a great job of teaching and facilitating discussion.
Ryan even managed to shock himself on a line during the workshop that shouldn't have been live. We met some people nearby, even a couple miles away, which was a great way to make connections in a new place.
The kids are doing well, here Z works with play-doh at the daycare he attends about one day every couple of weeks.
Here H found a farm kitty at the farm where we buy our feed, which was a highlight of her day.
Lastly, we have found some pictures of Ryan from when he was just slightly younger than Z. See the resemblance?
