Open range on Elk Creek Rd looks like it will be a challenging one.  Rumor is that the rancher brought 3 times (240) as many cattle as last year.  If he takes them to the high country they should stay and eat there, but they seem to meander down the road.  Surely the log truckers don't like it.  It's starting to smell like a barnyard around here!

We got a new toy with a squeaker.  We're doing pretty well with the new chicks; I am anyway.  Osker is having a hard time resisting the chase!

Zambit did not survive the impacted crop although she gave it a good try.

We decided to build a pony-wall at the top of the stairs instead of a railing.  It's framed in, and now a local guy is going to come drywall and texture it.

 The electrical conduit project is moving along!  Drilled a core through the footing of the garage and set the first sections of conduit.  It's kindof hot to work in the trench now.

The mudroom cabinets were installed last week!!!

Tiling the hallway and mudroom floor has started.  It's like playing twister when you're tiling in a small place and can't step on tiles! We borrowed a bigger tile saw, but it is not cutting straight lines.  Dad has been diagnosing the problem and vows to figure it out!!
