So much Rain, So much Hail
We've had soooo much rain this season that everything is drowning. Potatoes are starting to rot int he ground, all our brassicas died a week ago, our peas and beans are likely to get murdered witht he hail we are getting as I type this... Any one else having an off or otherwise Absurd growing season this year? Post your luck or misfortune in the comments...

just a short video outlining the last couple days of work. This should have only taken a day total but weather has been kind of getting in the way.

I haven't forgotten about updates... we got whacked with another small torrential rain and the back yard is currently draining. Due to the clay content of our soil and the scattered showers expected over the next 3-5 days it's likely going to take nearly a week to dry out enough that my saw stands won't sink into the ground.

We're still getting rained on. Ugh, I am hoping that when the workshop is done I can move the remaining lumber needed into the shop to dry out. With it being so wet, it's difficult to assemble the last section of the staircase. The wood is so soft the deck screws sink in and rip right through the lumber and end up with very little retaining strength.

Over the last couple days I've been working on relocating an 8x12 shed that I am converting into a small ( or should I say VERY small) workshop. The goal with this is to give me a place to both create content for the community without competing with tv's and radios blaring, and work on making the various things I need to do around here. I'll be posting some updates and additional videos/photos in the comments as I go.

What would your next project be?
Do you have a project that you'd like to build or finish, but you have no idea how to get started or what to do next? If so, drop it in the comments, and we can toss around some ideas. I'd love to brainstorm with y'all 🙂

@Terence Vezina i could definitely get onboard with one of those!
This weekends Live calls will be mobile, if I have cell service...
This coming weekend, I'll be out at a Family reunion just off the North Saskatchewan River here in Alberta. I have NO idea what my cell service is going to be like. I'll try to do the live calls each day, but I can't make any promises as to the quality of my mobile connection.

@Terence Vezina tell me about it, we get so shafted in this country on our cell service it's sickening. If i am on a 5G plan, i should have 5G everywhere... Apparently we have to exit the river valley to get decent cell service. I've been told that even tho there is a cell tower nearby, the location we are in is so narrow that most of the cell signal skips over it...
