September 1st Progress Report

1 Sep

Things at the north end of my farm are moving quickly now!  It’s really starting to look different. Maybe some day I won’t even have to crop out the electric line by the windmill, but for now…

They are done with removing the concrete and buildings that were up there, and filling it in and smoothing it out.

The well beneath the windmill has been filled in and sealed.  You can see there’s still some junk to get rid of, but we’re making progress!

We also got a water line run to beside the building and put a frost free hydrant in.  The trench that’s there now is for the electric line, which should be run soon.

Up next is fixing the doors and windows and cleaning inside the building.

Behind the building, we got rid of the fallen tree, and my nephew cleaned out the fencerow.

The pumpkins are growing and turning!  Soon I’ll be able to see orange all over because the plants are just beginning to die down.

I can’t believe how much progress we’ve made, and it’s a little scary that next month will be October and time for the pumpkin patch!
