Farm Maintenance

    It rained!   An inch and a half!  Time to do some maintenance, starting with the garage doors.  The old ones needed changing.  A dog chewed a hole in the lower left trying to get out of the garage.


      And the opener pulled a hole in the top.  The instructions for installing the new doors said it would take between nine and thirteen hours to complete (along with cautions that if the garage door is the only way in and out, you will be inside the garage for the duration--until the door is functional).   The 9-13 hours was right on target for the first one.  The second one took less time--the value of experience.


    The problem is, it isn’t done yet.  Now what to do with the leftovers?




    The new steel doors don’t let in light like the fiberglass ones did.  It is pretty dark inside now.  And the new ones are a bit heavier. 

   Most of the fence posts have been driven.  That was a lot easier after it rained.  And the wire-pulling job is done. The rain has refreshed the grass and the weeds.  Mowing will be in order soon.
    But some of those things will have to wait.  It is time to start Round 4 on the summer fallow.
