The last few days have given us some pretty decent weather. We have set the forms and placed several tons of 3/4 inch base in place for the new cement floored 10 x 20 pigpen. It is coming along. If tomorrow holds some sunshine, I should finish the raised base for the new pig house which is temporarily in the new corral. With a tarp in place, we should be able to relocate the piggies tomorrow afternoon... so if anyone is bored and wants to get in on what should prove to be a hilarious experience, COME ON OVER! We won't be greasing them but covered in mud and pig poop from their current horrible conditions, it should be a hoot roping and delivering them 100 yards to their new digs.
The house is really coming along. Framing is pretty much done. The ohia posts should be going up the first of the week; there are 16 I think around the entire lanai. The bathtub has been framed in... wow, did I pick a nice big soaking tub. Wow. The hearth for the fireplace is framed in too so it's just really coming together in a way that is very visual.
Yesterday Todd, John L and Jackie came to visit me. It was pretty wet so they didn't get the full tour but we still had a great afternoon. Thanks for the visit guys! Jackie and I made a Todd sandwich by the end of the day and someone has a photo to blackmail him with....
Billy, my live in sort-of-caretaker is putting pickets on the stair rail and upstairs lanai rail at the cabin. Looking rustic but cool. Just another fun project. Oh, and resident genius Theo Lupien has installed the vent fan on the composting toilet at the cabin so the system (even though I am using it now) is nearly complete. We have a temporary evaporation field but the big one should be done as soon as a couple more friends finish their parts.
We have developed a great batch of people trading goods and services here in Glenwood and it's really nice. Thank you to all my wonderful new friends and even employees. Great job everyone!!
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
