Building Walls
This has been a busy week here at Casa Loafkeeper. Today the sheep were sheared. Sadie decided to spend the first hour running around the property (and the neighbor's) eluding us. She also got the end of her tail nicked during the shearing, but the shearer tied it off so it wouldn't bleed. We didn't have anything to cauterize the wound, though, so he came back later with a torch and a piece of metal and did the deed.
In somewhat sadder news, the three ram lambs are no longer with us. Cabol's dad and I went with them and watched the process, but didn't really participate. I have to call the butcher on Monday to tell him how we want them cut, and the pelts are in the shed being salted, to eventually be sent to the tanner.
Today Cabol's dad and I finished framing out the basement. Too bad they are leaving tomorrow, since we didn't get around to putting drywall up yet.
[Edit by Cabol: See the place in the photo below where the door goes? It's a pocket door! That's why the framing looks different than normal and why there is metal up top. That's the track the door will slide on. Also, see the spot towards the left where there is blue tape on the floor? That's my imaginary closet. Do you think it's too small to be worth it? Andy wants to get an armoire instead. I know this would be small, but we could put two layers of hangy parts in since we mostly hang short stuff like shirts.]
