Bountiful Harvest

We are getting 3-4 cantaloupe each day from the garden.  I think my skin has a slight orange tinge.  Our tomatos are really starting to produce as well.  We have had some great bruschetta and this week and we are going to have to can some sauce very soon.  The watermelon is still ripening and the chickens are eating about 6 cukecumbers a day.  They are laying 7.5 to 8.5 eggs a day.  The .5 is usually a soft shell egg.  Maybe I need to feed her some milk!

The house is coming along so quickly right now.  Plumbing and HVAC are all roughed in for inspections next week.  The stone has been delivered and the stone mason has begun laying the brick on the back side of the house.

We had our first trauma when we noticed the versatex facia boards were not being installed according to the manufacturers directions.  The guys were about 1/2 done and it all had to be ripped out.  Sad as it was to loose all that material,  it allowed us to change our mind on the sofit boards they had installed so we will be happier in the long run.

So much work has happened in the last two weeks that we are optimistic the we might be able to move on around the New Year.  It is going to take a lot of work and consume every weekend,  but hopefully we can make it happen.  We all know nothing happens according to plan,  but we will do our best,  because this RV is getting smaller each week,  and We all really miss our stuff!
