After additional delays on the house, it almost feels like it's really going to happen now. No new deadline was given. We're all just feverishly working to bring it to completion.

This week
This week is a busy one for BSV. Our second grape planting is in full swing as is laying the floor in the new house. We're also finishing up road work, filling out crop insurance paperwork, attending prenatal appointments, deer fencing, editing manuscripts, . . . oh, and my parents are here too. So if I'm a bit absent on the blog, please be lenient.
I'm not sure why, but Pape and Nonnie agreed to help us lay the floor in the house.
And of course by "us" I mean they agreed to help Nathan.
Though we women did contribute when possible.
I believe a total of six trips were made to Home Depot.
In addition to keeping the menfolk entertained with thoughtful commentary on which angle is really their best.
If you're wondering, we're laying unfinished New England White Pine. Once sanded we'll do a whitewash and a latex-based polyurethane.

Deer fencing
The deer fencing continues around the vineyard. You can see it here, behind the bundles of t-posts:
And here:
There's still a ways to go on that project. But it reminds me we'll need to do a second deer fence around the new house if we ever want to nurture any sort of landscaping.
This beauty currently has me swooning. (Found in House Beautiful.) It never occurred to me before that deer fencing could actually be pretty to look at.
We'll just whip one right up. Along with some mature trees and immaculate green grass.

Plastic fiend part two
Nathan was able to get the plastic over the frame this past weekend. By himself, I might add. (I was out of town. And even when I am here I'm currently restricted to light duty.) That's the great news.
What we discovered, however, is that with the weight of the plastic cover, the pvc skeleton cannot withstand the force of our 70 mph wind. Plan B is in the works.
