Spring is finally here, I think.


Great sunrise this morning, saw two Canadian geese and seven mallard ducks fly over the highway on the way to work. It's official folks winters over, bring on the green.

Most snow since 1900...

Oh Yeah, we're having fun now...

Just so some of you snowbirds don't feel so bad I thought I'd remind you of all the fun you're missing out on up here in the great white north.


Jarrod and I decided that 42" of snow on the barn was a bit to much, actually the barn was complaining too. The front door would no longer close, and the sliding doors on the from are actually off their tracks due to the weight of 42" of heavy wet snow. I took Tuesday off and we removed 24" of wet snow off the top, there was 2" of ice under that and another 18" of crunchy snow under that still. We were able to clear probably 60% of the weight off by the time we were done 4 1/2 hours later.



The Workshop below is clearing it's own roof (good thing) not sure where we are going to put all the water when it all melts though. We've had 100 year floods two years in a row now in New Boston, I figure we're going for three. The weathermen say this winter we have more snow than we've had in one winter since 1900

Fixing the yard hill & Labor day

  Fixing the yard hill: Tuesday we're got 8 yards of 3/4" crushed stone, and 18 yards of loam delivered to fix a lot of sloped are...
