I will try to cover everything that has happened this week. Jeff has been out of town since Wednesday, but he’ll be back tonight. I researched steel through the early week, and then ordered the steel siding for the barn on Wednesday. The Lord was good and allowed it to be delivered today, in time [...]
Another busy weekend at our place. We’re on a time crunch to get our barn done. It is raining today, which is disconcerting. Makes us worried. Makes us pray that the Lord will keep the winter rains at bay for a few more weeks.
