I actually did this little project a few weeks ago but I just kept forgetting to post anything about it. Much like the windows in our downstairs bathroom, we used Amorf Frost frosting foil from IKEA to cover these windows. It's a simple enough process: Scrape the...
The next question…
Where are we going to use these new handles when we finally finish doing to them whatever we're going to do? We were recently discussing this and hubby had the interesting idea of using different handles for each door. At the moment we're partially there. In our...
The handles unveiled
I am most pleased to report that the SD card for our digital camera arrived yesterday...and as promised, I took some new photos of the door handles this morning. The plate on the far left in this photo above is on that has been stripped of paint (I think). But it...
More seeds on the way
I think after this group of seeds we will have the majority of what we'll be growing this year. We still want to get some okra seeds but those are a bit hard to come by so we may have to get them from the US somehow. But Exoga did have sweet potato plants which are...
The seedling update is long overdue
My last post about the seeds was April 11th. Not good, I know. We've made a MASSIVE amount of progress since then, I am very happy to report. We did have a few casualties from Hurricane Ayla and I think we may not have see the last of her, but hopefully the plants...

The previous owner of our little farm was a woodworker and he had two workshops here on this farm. One of them had to go when we did the build out of the kitchen, but the other one at the back of the barn remains., Since there is a lot of furniture we still need and...
Throwing away more junk
We really wanted to work on the greenhouse some more today but it's Sunday and we're supposed to be fairly quiet. So we decided to work on finally filling up the trash container sitting in the courtyard so it can be hauled off (it's been here close to a month now I...
Building a greenhouse (part 2)
This is part two of our ongoing saga called the greenhouse. Yesterday we built the wooden foundation and side walls but got stopped by missing a simple device, a protractor. Since it's Sunday and we aren't technically allowed to make too much noise we didn't really...
How to build a protractor
Ok, not something that is on top of most peoples list of things to build, a protractor, but sometimes you just don't have one around when you need one. We found ourselves in that tight spot yesterday while building the roof trusses for the greenhouse and first thought...
Building a greenhouse (part 1)
We finally did it, we got started on building the greenhouse. For those of you that can't remember exactly what we have in mind, since we have been talking about it a lot but have had a week in delay in getting started here is a refresher. While the greenhouse is...
