As reported, it was all happening down at the river at Struan Farm this past weekend. I hadn't quite counted on the digger showing up, which added to the activity. We've got a wedding in the Homestead garden next weekend, with farmstay guests arriving to stay in the Homestead, Cottage and Jim's Hut. Several international visitors are booked to stay at Jim's Hut to have a unique "kiwi" experience.
So it was rather important that John finish up the privacy trellis for the outdoor shower, which he did:
I've now cleaned the concrete shower area as well as Jim's Hut, and made up the beds. Last week I cleaned and re-stained the decks, although I'm finding that the sheep leave dirty little hoof prints and the magpies deposit poop just to spite me. We also had our friends from King Country Cleaning Solutions down to clean the windows inside and out (some are so high we decided it was best to bring in the professionals).
I'll need to damp mop the decks right ahead of guests arriving to stay at Jim's Hut, trying to clean them in advance just won't work with the sheep and magpies colluding against me. This is the great outdoors on a farm, after all!
