		<title>No Floor and Other Projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As winter races towards us, I hate having to write the same thing about our new building progress, but in the last week once again we&#8217;ve made no progress on it. Right everything&#8217;s on hold until the concrete floor is put in, but prior to that, the poly vapor barrier and extruded polystyrene foam need [...]]]></description>

		<title>Venting a Four Season Attic and a Bad Air Switch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I finally got around to a project that I had been putting off for some time. That&#8217;s because there&#8217;s no work we really need to do on the new building.  The sand base has yet to be prepared by our concrete contractor in preparation for the vapor barrier, foam, and radiant heat tubing [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Working Vacation Ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My two week working vacation at home came and went by quickly. I got a lot of projects done, but not nearly as many as I would have liked, and little of the work I had hoped to do on the new building. Due to the high heat indexes, the county fair and Basil getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>County Fair Time in the Heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s already nearing the end of the Dakota County Fair which started this last Monday. As usual we brought three Nigerian Dwarf miniature goats and two of our miniature horses to the Children&#8217;s Barnyard.  This marks the 8th or 9th consecutive year that we&#8217;ve brought animals there. Unfortunately while Kim was getting the animals ready [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Worthless Incomplete Building</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Any notions we had of a refinance to fund the rest of the construction of the new building fell apart this week. Even though the appraiser had given us the impression that we would get a fair amount of equity out of the new building in its current state, after waiting for over a month [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fascia, More Fence Repairs, and a Weed Wall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s stayed hot and muggy and continues to rain every few days. I managed to finish most of the soffits and fascia on the new garage, but plan on changing one corner of the fascia since I don&#8217;t like how it turned out.  But for now it&#8217;s done. The weeds near the new building were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fascia, Soffits and More Rain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week the weather wasn&#8217;t quite as hot as the week before, but the weather pattern of thunderstorms and rain every few days continues. I had hoped to finish the new garage fascia and soffits this weekend, but didn&#8217;t quite finish due to the weather. One day of my weekend was a write-off due to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot and Hotter with a Twist(ers)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week the temperatures were pushing the high 80&#8242;s and got to just over 90 today, with uncomfortably high humidity. While I realize that it&#8217;s nothing like the heat wave in some other parts of the country, it&#8217;s still much too hot to be doing much manual labor outside. The heat and humidity also brings [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Weekend of Manual Labor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather continues to be hot and humid with scattered thunderstorms. I spent the larger part of last weekend clearing materials out of the new building, an unpleasant laborious project I had been putting off; made even more miserable by the heat and humidity. It wasn&#8217;t exciting enough for me to get really motivated about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweating and Digging in the Dirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer has definitely arrived.  The last week has been hot and muggy, with intermittent showers and thunderstorms. Both have interfered with work on outside projects. One of the priority projects for me was installing new electrical wiring for the new septic pump.  The wiring for the pump power and alarm had been connected to the [...]]]></description>
