Daily Farmhouse Journal

She’s a monkey. She’ll be good, though. Really.





But there are so many fun things to do with scaffolding. “Do we get to keep it after the house is finished?”





Why does all this scaffolding make me feel like we are in a Batman movie?





Look how they pretend to be useful and measure stuff. How about pushing their sister off the scaffolding now? Wouldn’t that be useful?





He is not hugging her, by the way.





Whew. Down safely. Crisis averted. But she appears to have found a giant icicle. Wonder what her brothers should do now???





The final moment of peace as she observes them from the window.

I’d bring you a picture of the Star Wars ice saber battles that followed, but I had to set down the camera and save our planet from ultimate destruction.





Here’s the real high point of our visit to the house. THE SEPTIC TANK IS SET. I can move in on March 8th now. We have working toilets. Or we’re close to it….





And if this post wasn’t exciting enough already, I give you-52’s shoulder! (He totally behaved the whole time.)
