New board count!
Seems we’re currently on hold - the Blade Keeper Bearings on the Saw Mill decided they wanted to be come independent in multiple pieces. They are on order. Maybe UPS will arrive today........
All of or most of the lumber has been moved directly into the foundation for drying. Stickers cut from old plywood and fiberboard are laid between the layers to allow airflow for the drying process.
Total House Sub-Floor Package requires: 1376 Square Feet
Complete: 1015 Square Feet
In Progress: 361 Square Feet

In the wait for UPS, Kevin has had some down time....
He’s been preparing the gardens for winter. We’ve going to have to hot-wire the wire in between our tinker toy conduit fencing. Not much will keep out a hungry deer when they’ve got a craving for pepper plants. They only eat the leaves, Jalapeño peppers doesn’t suit their palate, :0, but the plants do take offense and don't produce. I was so saddened that I dug up everything this year and now have my garden on the deck. Slower to produce, but ah, the green is so lovely!
From my friends at Olive Forge Herb Farm in Haddock, Georgia, I learned this year that Pepper plants can survive from one year to the next and produce again. I am tickled! Pickled Jalapeños are one of our favorites.

Late breaking news:
Before the Keeper Bearing went AWOL, I learned that there is a good number of boards cut that haven't been counted. We may have already met our Sub-Flooring needs!
Next I believe we will be working on the Roof Package.
