So much happening today. The tank came today set and is now full. So our Raku parts are all here...shelter, kiln, and gas. It is not all hooked up but is ready to be done. The ditch was finished 5mins before it rained so it will be full of water but thats ok for now.
With the gas issue finished now the electric becomes my main and most important goal.
I went to the Dr and got meds for flu so I can rest now while the rain passes.

Ah, I see...clever use of the rain to test for leaks in the gas line!!!

Lots of things are getting done but not real exciting suff just landscaping out dirt piles, cleaning up brush that was pushed back for construction and sorting out what construction materials to keep.
I started moving staves over and storing some in the space we created above the tool room. Going to try and move the workbench over this weekend and a few more items.
The breakerbox gets installed monday so next weeks project will be filling in the trench and getting seed down before it gets cold.

The cemetery in town cut down a tree and it had bees in it so they called me to help out. With it being so late in the seasone I could not rehive them so I cut the section out of the tree then baged the opening of the log and brought it home. In the picture I am wiring the logs to a tree untill spring. I know this is a little crazy without the bee suit but it was 90 degrees yesterday. I did put it on while removing the plastic.

Also the electric was installed yesterday and the trench filled in. Lights and outlets will be installed next week. This means we can have the inside finished before winter.

Free bees are always a crap-shoot, even at best.  However, they are far better than no bees at all!

Here's hoping they winter well and can be moved to a hive come spring.
