The
cistern lid at the farm had failed, and we weren’t sure how to replace it. After
pondering the matter for some months – perhaps years – last week Mike fashioned
a new cover out of pressure treated lumber.
So,
yesterday (Wednesday, Nov. 28), we took said cover and went to the farm. With
sledge hammer in hand, Mike broke the remaining cement away from the garbage can
which formed the original neck and cleaned the top of the cistern. Then he cut
openings in the new cover for the spigot and wiring. Now it's neatly in place. It will have
to be sealed somehow, but that’s work for warmer, drier weather.
Meanwhile,
inside the house . . .
.
. . the kitchen countertops have been laid.
.
. . the dining room wallpaper has been hung.
. . . and the fireplace hearth has been repaired.
Progress. Slow -- but progress. KW

Oh, I love you cabinets so much! That plate rack!!
Thanks, Chris. I'm pleased with it, including the floor and the countertop. There was nothing wrong with the previous kitchen, but I feel this style is a better fit for the house. We also love the countertop and the flooring.
