BRK Day 29
Spent yesterday morning cleaning and then used the afternoon to attempt to figure out bounds for my lot. I also planted a jar of beans, and packets of mustard, radish, and chard.

BRK Day 30

Yesterday morning me and Scott put up four verticals and the last horizontal on a good bit of fence.
Afternoon was spent on various tasks, the most exciting of which was moving a 22 foot log

BRK Day 31

Spent the morning putting up fencing while a couple other boots moved the Chateau (quite the operation).
I did chop in drop and planted onions in the afternoon.

BRK Day 32

Yesterday morning me and Fred planted some seaberry and goumi seedlings, then took Judy for a water run (filling up her tank at the creek to irrigate our plants). I got soaking wet, but I got to use a fire hose so that was cool.
We did junkpole harvest in the afternoon and got a decent load

BRK Day 33

Yesterday Orin Scott and I put up horizontals while some other boots filled polls.
In the afternoon, me and Orin went for another water run

Found a cool bone in the woods, seems like it would make a good door handle. Now I just need a door... and a structure...

BRK Day 34

We got the last set of top and bottom horizontals up on the fence yesterday!
I spent the afternoon doing some much needed chop and drop on the turtle lot berm and digging holes for hazelnut seedlings on Fred's plot


After work I went out to my plot and planted another jar of beans and dug holes for some of the chestnut seedlings I'm planting

BRK Day 35

I got all six of my chestnut seedlings planted on my plot yesterday morning, along with my currant and some various seeds.
I also made a test brick of an experimental building material based on wood shavings for insulation.
