Wow, I can't believe another week has almost come and gone and I haven't blogged a thing! I have been busy but I can't say for sure with what...so I will just get to the searches. I usually do these on Thursdays but we'll be going out of town so you get this a day...
Our second attic
We don't talk about it much because we're rarely up there (especially after almost locking ourselves up there permanently - which I have only just realized I have never blogged about but went back to relive for you) but we have a rather large attic space which runs...
A weekend in the garden
Our major focus this weekend was on our garden. We installed our irrigation system throughout the greenhouse and in one raised bed which we actually have things growing. And the rest we will work through when we are not under so much of a time constraint.And as you...
Irrigation system nearly complete
Well we seem to be having a bit of a problem with the timer but we haven't been out there yet when the sprinklers are supposed to be on so things may indeed be running perfectly. We will be going out to check on everything at 7 pm and then I need to make sure to check...
Water in the hizzaus

We’ve got a rain delay
We did make some progress today but had a pretty massive thunderstorm roll in that is causing us a delay. We started working our way from the barn to the greenhouse with the watering system connections. We had to remove the temporary faucet we put on the water...
A watering system weekend…and more
This weekend we will be finishing the setup of the watering system in the greenhouse and into the raised beds. We will be going out of town on Thursday and not return until Sunday so we absolutely have to have the drip system set up by then or the plants are...
Keeping up with our wine collection
One of our more major projects down the road will be constructing a wine cellar here on the farm. We are not avid wine collectors since most of our money goes into the house but we do enjoy good wines and are trying to learn all we can. We are lucky enough to live...
Self-Reliant Searches Vol. 3
Another Thursday, another list of searches that led to this blog. It's a holiday here in Germany but the stock market is open and Stefan actually has to work. We were hoping to use the day to get some things cleaned up in the garden and do some work with the plants...
