Sugar House progress #2

Sugar House progress

This is the site, cleared and leveled, where the sugar house will go....just down from the barn.

Cock-a-doodle-do

Two of my ten little chicks turned out to be cocks. So far so good, but I've been warned the guys like to fight.

Clearing the way for a sugar house

The plan is to have a sugar house built before next sugaring season, so a space is being cleared and some land trenched to improve drainage. Lots of the trees being taken down are being chopped back up and thrown back into the woods, other is being used to mulch the garden paths. The sugar house will be on the west side of the barn, looking out to the west field.

New house for the turkeys

Their long necks pushed them out of the roof of their brooder so Don put together a turkey RV, which they seem to find very accommodating

The Cherry Tree at the End of the Drive

Last summer this cherry table was a tree. We had to take the tree down to get our certificate of occupancy because it was blocking a safe view distance for getting out of the drive. We took the tree to Lathrop's in Bristal, to turn the tree into boards. Then we took the boards to Vermont Furniture in Salsbury to make it into a table. The table now sits in our entry way.
