I am really tired, so I am not going to upload a lot of pictures tonight... I will take some time in the morning.
We had a productive day. Because of the communication problems with the Amish, many picked and brought food for the build and Weds. delivery... oops. We bought it and will try and sell some to the restaurants and feed the rest to the pigs. Praise the Lord they have it.... I'd rather make sure they have income than turn them away with the picked food. We made commitments to them and we try and keep them when we can. No matter what we could not have had a delivery becasue our administrative assistant couldn't get a cross the creek and we were too busy fighting fires than doing data entry for packing lists.
The pig fence was in worse shape than the other front field fence. The best we could do with that was salvage teh t-posts and wad up 100's of feet of tangled barbed wire and take it to the dump. We put in a temptorary fence pretty quick and electrified it. It should hold 'em in... 1,000 volts. They get zapped once and they learn. Maybe i nteh late summer/early fall when its dry we can actually dig a hole. Right now you go down 12" and hit the water table... all the auger makes is lumpy chocolate milkshake and posts won't hold.
The front drive repair is complete. We found the culvert pipe with a metal detector and dug it out... got the water flowing under the driveway instead of over it. Lots of gravel moving and grading and it's all ready to go. The parking lot for the trucks is another matter. Going to have to bring in some big dumptrucks of gravel as most of it just.. .went away. $600 in gravel just washed away. This happened last year too... to the day. I figure with those odds, if we have a drought in the summer I will just order some gravel and pile it right next to the creek... it'll be sure to rain!!
Anyway... I am going to get some rest. I'll post pictures tomorrow in the morning. Good night and God bless all of you.
