Painting

 We painted the "white" walls so they would actually be white and hide the wood putty and random dirt (even a shoe print!)  It came out well!  We may have to add a second coat, but we need to let it dry to be sure.

Paint and Primer!

After (paint still wet)

While we were there, we had an appointment to get a quote to replace the front fence.  Last year someone hit it, and it really needs replacing.  We would also like a nicer driveway entrance. Once the front fence and driveway entrance are completed, we have plenty of other projects on the land to be taken care of.  (more fencing issues, animal shelter, better well house, etc...)  There's plenty to be done at Little Frog Ranch!

Internet and Walls

We've been looking at internet options for Little Frog Ranch.  Getting high speed internet in the country is a challenge, until we discovered Starlink!  We recently put down a deposit to get Starlink internet service when it becomes available in the fall in our area.  Then to our great surprise, it made news this week when the satellites were spotted entering orbit.  Check out this article for more information at SpaceNews.  We are excited to be able to get broadband internet, ready to go!


In the meantime, we're still working on the cabin walls.  The shiplap look really seemed like an easy thing to do compared to drywall, but it turned out to be a little more work than expected.  We have to put wood putty on all of the holes before painting it so it will look nice when finished.  



Getting ready to paint!

I'm not really sure what this is still doing in the cabin, but now it's in the bathroom!  lol!
