I hit the road at about 5:45 this morning. It was nice to beat traffic and start working while it was still relatively cool outside. The morning was glorious and it was nice to look over the back field. As usual, the photograph doesn’t do it justice.

I spent a bit of time tidying up the job site and adding to my burn pile. I need to haul a bit of debris to the landfill, but first I must make some modifications to one of my trailers. My big victory of the morning came when I vanquished an old maple trunk at the front of the property. Unfortunately I didn’t get any before pictures, but below you will see it on the ground, and getting carted off.

The framers arrived this morning and put the sill plate on. I really liked the foreman. He is from Guanajuato, Irapuato, and speaks decent English. He is coming back with the rest of his crew on Tuesday. I am very excited about them getting to work.

After finishing at the farm I drove down to Pulaski to visit a building materials store. The drive was absolutely beautiful and very relaxing. I only stopped once for pictures, at a cool old church in the middle of nowhere. I am always stunned by how gorgeous Middle Tennessee is.
