Hearth Outside of the Kitchen
Hook Used for Hauling Logs
Fetch a Pail of Water
John and Drake demonstrated how they have to prepare the water system before taking a shower.
We start at the pump.
Ms. Hassett is a good water pumper!
Next, we carry the pail of water up the hill.
Dump the water into the holding tank.
Gravity does the rest.
The water inside the pipe warms up. Take a quick shower. Cold water from the tank is quickly approaching!
Quick! Turn on the water while Drake is looking up! :-)
Bench Making
Note the lack of nails!
A Summer Garden
John pointed out two tomatoes that are ready for picking.
Rhode Island Reds
Drake reports that fresh eggs are delicious.
