Still trying to get finished getting ready for the cold weather.

Since the weather folks said last night was gonna be below freezing was time to get the plants in for the year.  After building a raised area about 8×6 and 4 feet off the ground we moved them in by dark.  That also included the walls around it.  Will try for pix later.

Today was firewood and timbers for the tent/portable building.  Firewood cutting started at 9:30am and finished about 11:45 am.  Cut and split a pile about 8’x8’x1.5′.  Enough for the next few days anyway.

After lunch I went back out and cut several poplar trees from 2 to 5 inches diameter for the tent frame I am trying to get built for the ren faire this weekend.  Got all 8 pieces cut to length and peeled.  Got the 4 uprights cut down on the bottom to 1.5 inches to fit into the pine rounds and 2x4s around the base of the building.  Will be 8’x8′ square with a front wall height of 7 feet and a back wall height of 5.5 feet.  Floor will be raised 8 inches above the ground for water or whatever avoidence.    Must get pix.  Too weird to discribe.

Gonna try to get the canvas for the top, back, and front/canopy at the coop tomorrow.  Hope they haven’t gone up too much on the prices.  Need 10’x20′ if possible.  If not will see about getting painters canvas and sealant and sew it myself.  May not make the weekend if that happens.  Next bit we are gonna try to make is farm days at wrights dariy on November 4.

Posting will be sparse for the next few days till this is all over.  Will try to catch up soon.
