Sunday brought another day of sales. This time, Jarek and I were off to a Walmart to set up shop. We did pretty well there, although the Publix was a bit better.
Popcorn, fundraising, soccer, and rain!

It’s popcorn season for Scouts again! Jarek and I went to a Publix to set up our table and commence the fundraising!

Fun Friday!

I need to cut some holes in the roof to install roof vents for the bathrooms, which presently vent to the attic. Now that I have all the parts, I’m waiting until I have a free morning that is rain free to get it done.
Meagan took the kids to a home school co-op meet up for D&D club. The location has a play place for the little kids. Jarek and Evan had a great time playing D&D. Jarek ran a table and Meagan ran the other. They are all looking forward to doing it again!
Garrett was being a twit. We’ll all be happy when this phase is over.
Hump day!
19 August 2026 & 20 August 2026
It’s a rare thing to go a day without pictures, but we managed to do so for Wednesday!
We spent the day doing home school and clean up, then we had our Table Top Game/movie night in the evning!

Goat doing goat things.
The phantom photographer strikes again!
A not great picture of some eggs the guinea hens, I think, are laying under one of our bushes!
Additionally, I managed to get the wire run to the breaker box for the bathroom!
With the wire run, I had to get a new breaker to install it. From there, I just need to get the drywall patch installed and finish wiring up the bathroom fan, light, and outlet and I can close out the electrical portion of the permit.

Shopping & Meal Prep!
18 August 2026
Today was off to Costco for resupply. I had four of the crew with me today. They were all very excited to go get some pizza!
Busy Monday!
17 August 2026
Mondays are always busy. Back in the saddle with Volleyball, the week started early with drop off and pick ups. Then it was back to the books with the kids getting back into their subjects. We had a pretty good day for Evan getting his work done; Arya had some struggles with recalling how to do math.
But that was partially made up for by Randal, coming to take her away and saying “I need tuggles [snuggles]”!
Then the kids were off to music lessons, but Arya has shifted to Choir club.
Project day!

Jalapeno Cheddar loaf! I’m working on the lamination technique to get the inclusions spread about a bit more evenly.
Pushing on despite the heat!

More work on the bathroom. I got up early and got in the attic and got the old wires pulled, and more new wire run, as well as the network cable.
A view of the existing bathroom fan that is/was venting to the attic. The yellow wire is the new wire for the bathroom.
Busy Wednesday…
Obligatory goat video!
Today was busy, I spent time up in the attic, but didn’t take pictures, chasing wires and trying to get things sorted. I spent some time hunting down a missing ground on a couple outlets. I found two ground wires not connected, and fixed them, but that wasn’t the final answer – still missing the ground, so more hunting is necessary!
