Well I just cut some grass and sweep up the cuttings and some other stuff.  Oh, I did rake up the leaves and stuff in the Dog Run.



The Dog Run



Zoe's Sheltered Space

And yes I know there are some "things" there.  Zoe rarely uses the space but, it was built for her if we had to leave her alone during the day (usually less than 12 hours).

The winds have been relentless here.
And  need rain badly!

The winds have been relentless here.
And  need rain badly!

Not that windy here in the SC Midlands but the rainfall this year has been very marginal.  The creek at the back of our property is really getting low.  Still some water that is clear but....  really low level wise.

I worry that when the rains come, if they come with heavy rain, there will be heavy erosion  which will result in more damage.  Yes, I know that is Mother Nature at work but....... 

Praying for some raindrops which will enhance the land not destroy it.

WWe are facing a severe drought.
I’ve been going up the mountain every other day, working on the spring.

[LadyDraco]

Well the roof beams that broke in  the the early spring is now fixed.
The only thing left is the gutter remount

Photos as  promised.

Before , when the  9" heavy wet snow broke  beams


Fixed


And  gutter remounted  and  finished

[Oss]

did you sister the beam or rebuild the whole dang thing

[LadyDraco]

Scabbed 
Or as you said sister butted to it .
When you look at that bottom pic you can see it a double beam
It appeared to be the simplest option.

And the posts are notched for more support.

did you sister the beam or rebuild the whole dang thing

I sort of wondered the same thing and if you look closely you can see the sister in the last picture.   

Always amazed at what you can accomplish Tracy.  Well done!  Well done!

My neigbhor Jason has  a  nice  100hp JD  that  is  what we  used to lift the  roof to just a tad  above lvl.
  With the  help of  his  wife her dad,and  myself.
Other wise  my Ford never could have  lifted  it up.

Great job as usual   

 and surprising that the beam broke in the first place.

Cant get good tomatoes here in Florida but that is alot of them. How much do you actually need to make

the sauce since that seems like alot, to someone who does not know.

[NewValker]

Good job that needed to be done before snow flies!
Looks much better than when I saw it in June for sure.
