What's Up at WRLG

Plans have changed....

​ALL ABOUT FAMILY  determined that the north end of the first barn had come off it's foundation and needs more work than just a roof job. So in late March of 2023 they will start work on the barn infrastructure and what foundation work can be started. 

​The canning kitchen conversion will start near the end of October (after I finish canning for the season).  As it is right now the canning season seems never ending. The hot stretches of weather haven't helped my canning output. I find it hard to pick fruit , pick up local veggies to can and still manage to do the cooking and canning, farm chores etc . 
I think it has more to do with not being physically isolated, unlike the past 2 years. I leave the house much more regularly than I was and boy does that take time away from the farm.  ​But h
opefully I can fill the shelves in the basement as I had 5 or 6 years ago. Yet I need to be realistic and do what I can and hope for the best!

The shelves filled with jars in 2012...so many things to can and so little time!

This summer has flown by...

 Right now I am listening to the crew from ALL ABOUT FAMILY LLC. as they replace the screws and caulk the roof of the additon. Metal roofs are wonderful till they are missing screws and leaks develop. 

After the roof job is done they will move on to the north end of the first barn to repair the infrastructure before they roof it(with leftover shingles from the barn restoration) and side it with shakes(left over from the addition work). 

​The canning kitchen cabinets will be arriving soon and the laminate, hood and sink are here. But I was told today, the crew doesn't want to start that job till I am done canning. Which will mean renovation for the canning kitchen will start 1st week in October. The other kitchen in the addition can't be worked on till the cabinets arrive in December as they were custom. Oh and another little wrinkle has developed, the counter top fabricator is going to change, but because I don't have any cabinets yet this point is rather mute. But it may mean once the cabinets are in...I may be living with plywood for a bit....we shall see!
