Well, we have been moving along at a slower pace with some strong demands from the ole chicken farm life style but we are now moving at a great pace . Chickens have been taken away and Mark came in 1st Place in his regional group. Quite an accomplishment in such a competitive business. Mark and Donald work very hard and they are so dedicated to quality production. This chicken farm business is a science and requires so much attention. Someone in Northwest Arkansas should be happy to have a number of these type producers.
But, as we said, we are now back on the game plan. Above you can see Jane doing some caulking on the windows. We all agreed that we needed to rebuild the windows in the sleeping room and restore the windows to as close to their original condition as possible. (Strange as it sounds, these windows were hand built on site years ago. They are not "pre-hung" type windows but rather each window was built for each window and then installed in a track.) Therefore, we replaced the old worn wood framing, replaced the worn window framing, and then reset the windows. We also must re-install new panes in the windows and do so with the same process as they were originally created. These windows were custom built, in place and are indeed unique. So, Jane and Kay have agreed to reinstall any missing panes and broken panes back with the same percision and efforts as original construction. Lots of labor, but worth the effort and we appreciate the hard work of the ladies.
We also started the plumbing process bringing the water line from the meter at Curry Road to the house and then into the bath, laundry and kitchen area. We've got about 300 feet of ditch and work to do and its worth every inch. The picture above (if you really check it closely) shows the line starting at the road and moving to the house. With luck we'll have water in the house before the next snow. (By the way, did I tell you it snowed this past Sunday,,,,,, Yep,,,, March,,,, snow,,,,,, with the daily temperature returning to 70 plus degrees tomorrow!)
The yard is also being "turned under" and re-leveled for the coming spring and summer growth. It turns out that as we turned the soil over we discovered a new complete garden area with dirt so good that we think it will grow anything.
Can't beat this growing blessing. We're actually getting so excited and feeling so blessed that we are beginning to "look over our shoulder".
This is work with a purpose and we hope you feel the love of the effort. We want everyone to enjoy the result in the coming months.
By the way, we're gaining followers and local people are expressing an interest in the process. Anyone that wants to provide input should let us know by email. You can email carlnpierce@gmail.com , kaycurry67@gmail.com or janebpierce@gmail.com
More to follow so stay tuned.
