With Chad and Carly's mid-June arrival looming, we've been working like crazy to ready our homestead. We're going to be on vacation in California for two weeks prior to their arrival, so everything needs to be finished before we leave! First off, we've been focused on our workshop/art studio, which needs to be prepped for its final interior coat of plaster.

We've cleared out a lot of stuff, and organized what remained in plastic totes and job boxes...

...and I've spent days doing edging, cleaning up messes from the previous round of plastering.

We dismantled the walkway that ran over all of our tie beams, and moved the lumber we were storing in the loft to our wood shed.

We've also done some demolition, resizing the box that hides the termination of our radiant heating system into a smaller, less-weird shape.

We're getting close!
