The base is laid

Well, the foundation was poured for the barn today, and now all we can do is wait, burn feathers, wave crystals, and hope that the building permit comes soon. We have signed the papers to build Without a building permit, but one hopes. The weather is not going to get warmer up here, and it's going to be critical soon.

Barn is going up 12/12 -- or more accurately, starting to go up. Hoping to complete by year end. My guys say they "don't call it building unless it's zero degrees" so they're on no matter what the temp, bless them.
