Milkhouse

Lightbox suspended

6 Feb 200923 Feb 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Another seedling room set-up task checked off today: hanging the lightbox. Not exactly a big job—the chains were already there from last year—but having it in place is a big visual reminder in the Milkhouse that we’re heading into spring. … Read the rest

The Big Shelf

11 Nov 20235 Jan 2008 by Mike (tfb)

The choice storage spot for tiny farm gear, especially during winter, is this giant shelf, where it’s warm and dry. It’s at the back of the Extended Milkhouse, the last 3-1/2′ of the old ceiling, propped up on the leading … Read the rest

Barn, Milkhouse, snow load

11 Nov 20232 Jan 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Not a big concern, but part of my rounds is keeping an eye on the snow load on the Milkhouse roof. It’s that shallow angle. This pic makes the potential problem clear: big, steep upper roof, unloading onto not-so-sloped lower … Read the rest

Early harvest day…

11 Nov 202331 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)

Harvest Fridays begin with empty bins. We have around 50 harvest containers right now, the white and the blue and the green trugs (heavy duty plastic baskets with handles). On any one Friday, some are washed and ready, others have … Read the rest

Roof is working out

11 Nov 202319 Feb 2007 by Mike (tfb)

Here’s the barn with the new milkhouse extension, doing fine. We were slightly concerned that the slope of the new roof might be too shallow for snow to slide off, particularly with roll-off from the roof of the barn. The … Read the rest
