'Round The Farm Sunday [View all]

Today it's all about the barn.
Last week was time for Laurie to dig trenches for electrical and water lines. It happened that our neighbor's son Austin is an accomplished bulldozer/backhoe operator. In two days he got Laurie off to a very good start.




Our daughter's Boxer Pepper's here. She took one look at Austin's trench and jumped it.



Once Pepper came back to earth, she and Shadow trotted around.

Yesterday Laurie rented a Flat Plate Compactor to flatten the muddy floor surface.

Pepper supervised.




Following her hard work —

The surface beneath tractor/compactor looks just like the previous photo.
