Today billn cut the grass in the front, which is slightly more than 1/2 of the property. Mowing isn't fun, but necessary. We are the only family with a push mower on our block. We also hit the Farmer's Market and the co-op for some food. Here is a cookie senior daughter bit before leaving the store.
Billn's parents visited for special friend's day at senior daughter's school on Friday through Saturday. We were glad for their visit.
Here we model the latest in rural-urban fashion.
Jenm potted a few new plants to brighten up the exterior. We'll transplant them later in the summer.
We completed the laundry plumbing rough, here is our rig to pressure test the new piping, no leaks. We also completed the drain for the laundry sink and extended a pipe for the kitchen sink, when that comes in. Also, we finished the 
foam board installation on the dining room and little pieces in the kitchen. Installing the foam board in the dining room was an exercise for billn's brain. The fiberglass insulation sags down a little from the joist bottoms, so the foam board had to push the insulation up. Driving screws into the foam just pulled them through. Billn had to use large diameter washers and screws with a careful push up on the board when driving the screw. Challenge met. We also put up the first piece of aluminum trim coil on the kitchen ceiling. This aluminum will help transfer the heat from the radiant heat pipes laterally, improving the heating efficacy.
Today we go to a local farm to buy some plant seedlings, cut the back 1/2 of the grass and bring the wires into the electric panel.
