The Back Ramp is All Redone etc.

We finished rebuilding the back ramp over the creek last week. Mostly hubby did all I did is help paint and be the gopher and holder as he screwed down the new beams and boards. First we made a new base for the west end.

Took off all the old boards and then the beams. New beams went on. 2x8's were painted with primer cut in half and the ends painted. Nailed to beams and painted.

We have also been picking beans, pulled the beets and carrots. Dried the beet tops. The carrot tops are drying in the dehydrator.

The beets and carrots are all canned up. We are freezing the beans until we have a bunch from the next pickings to can up on the same day.

A granddaughters fiancé came and cut the old maple down some more last Sat. It had a lot of rotten parts that needed to be gone before the snow flies.

We were hoping to get the potatoes dug this week but that  is going to all depend on the weather. Maybe thunder storms coming in for the next few days. We sure could use the rain but also need a week to harden off the spuds.
