So, many of you have been wondering where we've been since our posts just dropped off. As you might have guessed, we haven't been working on the farm but instead have been fighting off colds and recuperating from the work we did last week After finishing the ceiling...
Three trips to Hagebau
It's now 1.40pm and already we have enjoyed three trips to Hagebau today. Thank God the place is really close by. The first trip was expected, we needed more clips to mount the roof beams. That process went really quickly for the first two beams. But as it turned out...
Framing the ceiling – no fun at all….
Today got off to a bit of a slow start because we had to make a quick trip to Hagebau around the corner to pick up a few framing brackets for the ceiling. It was a simple in-and-out process there but we were hungry so we decided to see if the Subway down the road was...
A huge step forward… and man are we tired!
It's 6pm again, the usual quittin' time at our house, and we had a huge day. Besides putting in the ceiling insulation earlier in the day we also managed to put in the vapor barrier and started on the studding out for the drywall. The vapor barrier ended up taking...
The ceiling insulation is in!
This morning marks the official beginning of building out the stables. Everything up to here was really demolition, but now new stuff is actually going into the building. The first step in the build out was to install ceiling insulation. We had to go with a product...
Done for the day
Given that we didn't feel very good this morning and neither of us really wanted to get out of bed at all we had quite a successful day. We didn't get to start the ceiling insulation yet, mostly because putting the scaffolding together took longer than we had...
A solution for the windows
As we where cleaning out the tiles (yes, those tiles) from the stables, waiting for the container to show up, we saw our neighbor the window maker drive by with his truck. We decided we should ask him about the possibility of using insulated frosted glass panes in the...
Moving right along…. the divider is gone
After all the deliveries this morning, we got motivated and the weather is turning nicer as well. It's clearing up and we can actually see the sun now and the temps have climbed from the low 40's to the high 50's. Our to do list for the day: Remove steel divider...
Wooohooo, more stuff
This is working out like we planned it, the order from Hornbach just arrived - ceiling insulation and scaffolding. We where actually a bit worried that the Container would get here first - you know how it goes with scheduling deliveries, ie. "Tuesday between 8AM and...
The first order is here!!!
So, we woke up this morning just sort of feeling under the weather. It's not nice outside today, kind of gray in gray and pretty darn cold. Not a good start to a day which is just filled with activities. Stefan already headed the Hagebau this morning to pick up some...
