Our Ironworker.

Working on a farm does not always mean growing crops or raising animals... Sometimes you have to be a painter or an electrician or a plumber.... or an Ironworker:

Hubby has been busy this week honing his welding skills. The new tractor attachment we purchased last week needed a few modifications (according to Hubby)... so I got some great shots of him taking care of business.

Some of his artwork.

Finished product.

Ready to cut rows in the front 40!

Pole Beans Stringing and Work Bench Construction- Part 2

Saturday was another productive day at the farm... Hubby and "BJ" spent all day cutting, grinding and welding up the support legs/arms for the new work bench/shelves. Hubby is an excellent layout man and "BJ" is a grade-A welder!!















All the while the boys were playing with their tough toys in the barn, I was working in the garden. It was time to wire up the racks for the cherry tomatoes to run up. I used my old wire racks from yester-years cherry tomatoes (grown on our back deck up in the City) and tied them together into a continuous rack for our four cherry tomato plants. Then, cut up pieces from our spool of light gage wire we got up at the feed store.





Next up was stringing up the cables for the pole beans to run up too. Boy, this project of zig-zigging the baling twine seem to take forever! The twine had a putrid stench and felt like prickly insulation... plus factor in the baking sun.









Hubby even came out at one point in the afternoon to help/get in on the action!



The final product looks great!
