We don't take possession of the new house until March 15th, just six days before the arrival of the building team from Alberta; but on March first we took over the attic! The attic had a double layer of boards with dirt packed between (for insulation if you are wondering why).

The students have been making extra money this week in their spare time in the afternoons clearing out the top layer of wood (I hoped to have a photo of the wagon backed up the house that they were filling with stuff, but it was gone when Garry and I went there this morning.) Next the dirt will be shoveled out, so Garry and Max Rudei can inspect the beams and lower layer for rot and make repairs. Then fiberglass insulation will go down. They have also started digging the septic tank? hole?.
This morning only Julia and Karina were up the ladder when we arrived, some of the boys were over at the new barn, where Garry planned to dehorn heifers, so they are in the the photos. Karina thinks it is better than helping milk cows, she paid one of the boys to switch places earlier in the week!
