The new lavender drying shed.

This is close to how it looked when we bought the property. Except it was full of a lot more junk. After many trips to the dump and a relocated pack rat, and after 2 tons of sand delivered and 2 tons of pavers and almost a year of work and patience we christened our new drying shed just in time for harvest.

The time has come to finally tackle the kitchen...

...which first means setting up an outdoor kitchen for the month long construction. (Which Will decided to start in the coldest month of the year)
Picture
Douglas and I begin...
Picture
Layers of wall paper and electrical challenges as we get ready to put in the new kitchen window
Picture
Window in. Now Will begins working out the plumbing while Douglas begins mudding the walls and arranging the thrift store cabinets. (Our goal, new kitchen for under $1,500, which we succeeded with!)
Picture
Picture
Now the epic process of hand planning the knotty alder for the new counter top...
Picture
Picture
Counters all smooth, time to cut in the slot for the new sink.
Picture
Thanks to Douglas's impeccable math skills its a perfect fit!
Picture
New doors so our thrift shop cabinets look like they were made for one another.
Picture
Time to call on Larry Goetz, all the way from Philly, who saved the day and took on the large task of painting the new kitchen. Thank you Larry!!!!! Go Eagles.

Here we take a break for a round of bean bag tossing.
Picture
Picture
And the kitchen is done, a center piece for community and nourishment for many, many people for years to come! Deep gratitude to Douglas and Larry and Annie for making it all happen.

A special thanks to Douglas Smith for his amazing craftsmanship and endless talents (also the best drummer I know) and for a year of joyfully working on all aspects of this project. Were wishing him the best as he moves on to share his talents with more and more people.

Thank you and stay tuned for year three!!!
