First February Weekend

No snow yet. (November)

A little snow. (December)

One thing that we will appreciate for sure is spring!  This weekend has been about snow removal!  Justin spent much of Saturday and I spent most of Sunday scraping snow off of the roof of the two barns, the chicken coop and the house.  Sore arms!

Snow.

Snowing.

Justin works to avoid roof collapse!  There was over a foot of snow on the roof.

The fabulous Grange across the street in snow....  Hm....who could our new neighbors be!?

Before (the wall straight ahead).

Justin's plumbing project--putting in new pipe to improve the water pressure--is well underway.  We tore out the plaster off of the end entryway wall on Sunday.  It was so cracked that it has to be replaced.  It also helped us get to the plumbing.  And by "us" getting to the plumbing, I mean Justin.

After.

Justin's plumbing leftovers.

Holes for the new hot/cold water for the bathroom.

I took off the boards on the ceiling to reveal the pipes.  Underneath was plaster with a beautiful blue paint.  I think it inspired us to go back to a plaster ceiling and take down all of the boards.

Most of the wood paneling came off this weekend, but not all since we didn't feel up to removing the toilet.  The plastic mirror over the half paneled wall is a nice touch I think!

Nice shower, eh?

A new shower will make a big difference!  We're working on how it will fit into that back corner without blocking the windows.

Sorry Sears shower, you're going to be replaced.
