Waterline is In!

It has been a while since I have posted. The summer has been very busy!
I hope to do some catching up ........
The guys showed up early in September to put in my waterline to the new garden/hen-house area, and on to the barn, about 150 + feet.
That little Kabota machine did a great job! Of course, so did the operator :-)
It really didn't take long at all....
This will save me carrying water a L-O-N-G way during the winter.
He is almost done with the digging. I love watching these machines work, and smelling the freshly dug earth. It reminds me of all the Bobcat 'n bucket work my husband did both in PA and later when we moved to KY.
If you click on this next picture, you can see the first hydrant has been put in. Look below the right corner of the house. The on-going waterline is at the lower right corner of this picture.
The ditch was dug and waterline covered by 1 pm that day. Now all I have to do is wait until it rains several times fro the ground to settle. They say that is the best way, instead of packing the dirt back down right away, as that would tend to leave a "ditch" later on.
So glad to have this job done! Thanks to the guys for such a good job!

Summer Projects -Pergola

This project took place the end of June
The same crew that put on my new garage roof last year. They do such neat work!
Rick, in the orange tee-shirt, is head of the crew, a really nice guy.

Finished!
From the doorway looking out at mid-day....
(with pet-gate#1, found on Amazon)
I had the chiminea, that I brought back from AZ, moved to the deck.
Yes, it will be safe to burn, but don't leave un-attended.
You only want a small fire in these.
and pet-gate #2
My dogs love to go out and sit with me. Well, I sit...... they run around!
Have a wonderful day! I will be back with more projects!
