Playhouse

Lots and lots has been happening. I've just been too busy to post.

The garden part of the farm has been thriving. The cabbage and broccoli is really growing fast, and we finally got more tomatoes out so we can plant more seeds.

I need to get going on that because it's cooling off. In fact, Fall definitely fell. Last weekend was in the 100s, then it went to highs of 70s and 40s at night. We know it's Fall because Rick C put on a wool shirt.

Fortunately I was able to get some onion starts at the Farmers' Market. I'll get those planted today.

We've been hard at work on the Playhouse! All last week we worked on the walls, and Thursday, we put the walls up. Two of the walls are lying on the floor.

Rick and Buddy support the first wall while Rick C screws it down.

Then we attached a cross brace to hold it up. Here Rick is predrilling holes for the screws in the second wall.

Rick and Rick heave the second wall into place as Buddy moves to support it.

And it's up! Everyone checks the sizing. Turns out we built it just right.

Rick C surveys the fit.

The third wall is up. The front wall is the heaviest and most complicated, so we're doing it last.

Here's the fourth wall. This wall has four windows: the two big center ones that open for the bar, and the two decorative side windows.

Rick C. screws the fourth wall to the third one.

We test it out.
