The first unexpected project was one of those things that happens on a farm. We had stray dogs get into our chicken pen and kill more than half of our meat chickens. We decided to process the remaining 35 chickens immediately. Although it was a sad thing to lose so many chickens to the dogs, we were glad to save 35 and processing is always a fun time!

This week our friend, Micah, who is doing most of the drywall finishing is coming back to apply texture. We will then paint and do the flooring!
