Getting back to work...

But it's not very interesting work hence the lack of blogs.  It's just insulation, rinse and repeat, working on the big cathedral ceiling.  But getting it done and hoping soon to be finishing up the walls and moving on to drywalling....

And another side project, had some trees removed, moved the container making space for a carport.  Mr. M got to admire his stable.....

Container moved back level with the shop, next task gravel then carport.....

We are fast heading to the end of the summer.  I'm busy harvesting all the goodies from the garden.  It's been a stellar growing year, there are still plenty of beans, squash, salad onions, carrots, tomatoes, dahlias, potatoes and beets coming out of the garden, along with the fall harvest of peas... 

Yes, this is a huge plant pot full of potatoes.....

 

 

Harvested the chilli plant....

Now the kitchen is decorated with the drying chilli ristra....

And my garlic braids.....

We'll be back soon, when we have moved on from insulation, it is seriously difficult to get inspired by insulation!

We're all going on a summer holiday......

But before we go quick update.  Insulation is all go, go, go... after he finished up the guest bedroom he started on the roof, first of all our bedroom...

Once all the insulation is in you then cover it in plastic wrap...

Onto the storage area.....

 

It's all quite repetitive.  But the downstairs guest bedroom is all finished bar the paint and finishing up etc.. but it is ready for our summer guests...

Of course it can't be all work and no play during the summer months, so some fishing days have been enjoyed...

And the freezer has been getting stocked...

To go with all the yumminess coming out of the garden...

So we are outta here for the next few weeks, we'll be back after our summer hollibobs! Go enjoy the summer and everything that comes with it....

Moving right along......

Moving right along with insulation.....

And some more squirty cream expandable foam....

He then had an inspection on the insulation and got a tick v.g. so he was able to switch it up a bit and start on the dry wall/plaster boarding.  We have some VIP guests arriving so we are working on the guest bedroom and bathroom.

Ceiling first....

And onto the walls, cut no corners you are being watched...

Summer is in full swing in the garden, pickings are good and we are enjoying lots of yummy stuff on a daily basis.

I harvested my garlic for 2019 and I definitely didn't plant as much as I harvested.  I ended up with 95 bulbs! Oh My.  I took some to the farmers market yesterday and will keep all the biggest bulbs to replant, we should be set for garlic for the next year...

I've already cleared the bed and planted up cauliflower and brussel sprouts in it, and in the cleared pea bed have another full planting of peas that I am hoping will arrive right around the end of the summer!

Until next time folks.

Bloomin' lovely...

Last week was a short week as it was July 4th, so we had some company come to town and kicked back and enjoyed the celebrations Port Orford style.

Back to work and it is on with insulation.  It's all about the walls...

Quick update from the garden, the pollinators are loving the pollinator beds and doing their thang....

 

Every year I wonder if we will get anything out of it, and then, the garden starts giving us the good stuff...

Peas glorious peas...

Finally, this is the third year the swallows have visited this birdhouse, babies are hanging on as long as possible before flying the nest.....
