Slowly, Slowly......

Since we bought the farm it has been a "work in progress", and probably will be for the rest of our lives! We have had to shore up rotting footers in the 10-stall barn, to make stall doors work; take out walls and old sliding doors (well the old ones fell down!) in the gambrel barn; remove a complete section of the pole barn, which had fallen down thanks to a hurricane some years ago; replace barbed wire fencing with board fencing; replace old plumbing and electrics; paint and so on........

Well, we have another little milestone, a minor celebration. A piece of roof on the pole barn, visible from all over the farm and a constant annoyance in photos because it was an eyesore, has been painted! Charles Fernandez, our newest volunteer, has succeeded in erasing one of the most visible signs of poor housekeeping. What a difference a bit of paint makes!

The green and red we have used for the barns was done some time ago, and the roof really rounds it off. Just some trimming to do!
