Insulation

We've been working on adding the insulation to the walls of the cabin.  Rockwool insulation was pretty easy to work with overall.  The electrical boxes have now been installed and the interior electrical wiring is coming along as well.

Four New Things!

Things have been moving right along on Little Frog Ranch over the past few months!  Four big things have happened!!

1.  We have water!  We had a well dug, and now we're building a 5 foot well house to keep it secure.

It is a work in progress. This will have a roof and will be completely enclosed with a door for access.  



2.  We have a right fence!  A new neighbor moved into the lot on our right and he installed the much needed fence so he could have cows soon.  We are thankful for the new fence!  One less thing on our to-do list!  And now we can look at getting animals soon too- maybe cows, maybe goats, not sure yet though...


3.  We have a tractor!!!  This was a great deal and works great too!



4.  We have a cabin!!!! (well, actually a shell)  So there is a lot of work to do to make this livable, but things are already underway!




There is a lot of beauty on Little Frog Ranch!  I was amazed at the flowers I saw on the last visit: bluebonnets, black-eyed susans, fluffy purple things, plenty of wildflowers, and of course, the cacti, which have yellow flowers blooming!  We call this big one near the cabin "Cat's Cactus", after a friend who claimed it.
