We have been talking about removing the handrail running in the middle of our outside stairs for a while now. In the old days there where only 2 handrails on the wall (see it here), but the PO had installed one running down the front as can be seen in the picture...
The perfect chair?
When it's warm outside we love sitting in front of the stables talking and enjoying a nice glass of home brewed iced tea. Last summer we made do with some of the many chairs we have found throughout the house, attic and barn - there must be at least 30 of them - but...
Building a greenhouse & the garden
We are very optimistic people but we've come to the realization lately that our dreams and plans about what we want to get accomplished on the house this year may be rather hard to achieve. So one of the projects we've decided to put on the back burner is building up...
The last of the containers for a while
As I sit here, they are finally picking up the last container we will have for the winter. Since we're done with the construction for the time being, we're not going to order another trash container until the weather gets nicer. That way we can clean out the barn and...
So the solution should be pretty simple…
I was just outside to check the other fuse boxes we have (one in the main house and one in the barn - plus I think there is another one I've forgotten somewhere) and Robert was telling me that he thinks that it is likely a fuse in the controller box for the gate. When...
The Mack is back but the gate is not
When I came back from the walk with Ayla this morning, I was very relieved to see Macky's van outside. Hopefully he won't take long to get everything wrapped up today and I know both hubby and I will be VERY happy to be able to use the new bathroom upstairs,...
The wine cellar…
There have been a lot of posts on our upstairs bathroom lately, and yes it is the biggest project currently going on at the farm, but I figure it's time to post a little something about another future project . The wine cellar. The farm has an old cellar with a...
Getting on the roof
I wasn't really sure whether I wanted a record of this happening but apparently hubby's been telling everyone about it anyway so I might as well.On Wednesday night, my husband decided we'd been without cable for long enough. For whatever reason, the satellite cable...
The good news…and the bad
Well it has been an interesting morning. The weather here today is grey on grey. It's drizzling (better than sleeting or snowing, I know) and dark and I just want to go back to bed. Hubby has gotten home pretty late the last few nights because of his conference but...
Snow and ice…in our freezer
After coming home from the farm today, I wasn't quite prepared to start packing more boxes so I decided to do something that some would probably consider to be even more daunting...defrost the freezer that belongs to the landlord. Perhaps it was because I keep hearing...
