We haven’t been writing much, but we’ve been busy at work. Here are some things we’ve done lately.

• Painting (now done)
• Patched adobe
• Sealed all the adobe (big job)
• Working on closets
• Bought kitchen cabinet boxes; currently finishing and building doors
• Finishing lots and lots of wood (baseboard, windowsills, window trim)
• Bought a stove (will be installed after cabinets are done)
• Distressing some metal for ornament
• Built a new cold frame out of leftover adobe and glass; planted some winter crops

• Harvested a little under 40 pounds of sweet potatoes
