I used to be crazy about thrift stores – and I still am. But a few months back, I got busier on our days out.

In The Nick of Time

We worked from sunup to sundown Saturday and Sunday, and then from noon to past dark on Monday, to finish our barn. Or at least get it done enough to keep the animals dry and shelter the remaining water and electrical work ahead of us.
