Last night, chasing fading daylight, hurried home to feed the boys and turn the little ones out to stretch their legs. Dinner, too, Tom bulldozed dirt into the trench hole, pulled the wire through the buried conduit and continued the electric installation. It is so great having water at the barn and pasture trough - so convenient!
It is getting dark at around 6:30 or so, working in the dark with work-lights burning. When Daylight Saving stops it will be worse! We'll be driving home in the dark. The weather is fantastic, warmer now than it was on Saturday. I know that's going to change, too.
Tom will reuse the fuse panel that is in the garage/shed for the barn. Recycle, right? Another item we don't have to purchase. We won't need the amperage in the shed, we are not planning on putting the apartment back together, ever!
Tom is also looking into a hay elevator. He found a used one in Sinking Springs on Craigslist.com. We can't always have David show up and heave 40 or 60 bales of hay into the barn. One of these days we have to fully stock up for the winter. And the kids need to have a vet check...
Life on the farm isn't for sissies. Or poor people.
