November 2012 Ranch Hands




"Critter Ticker": 2 humans & 43 animals
Mongeese:  XV

October raced by at the CGR!! On 1 October, we took over the lead for finishing the Hacienda!!  Mike hired the son of a friend as his helper & runs the projects every day requiring lots of Motrin for pain!!!!

This month was a constant 7 day a week drive to install the interior drywall, with mudding and taping too!!!  Mike & his crew installed 102 sheets of drywall .....  having walls is BIG progress!!!

Leslie has been actively managing a growing critter count & adding large gardens for food...  the farming progress is amazing!!!!

Leslie sheared some sheep to help them cope with the tropical temperatures!!  Yes, wrestling sheep is becoming part of the workout program here!!

We butchered our first chickens with them dressing out at an average weight of 6+ pounds - and they were only 8 weeks old!!!!!!

The next big steps are finishing the drywall, installing windows & then the flooring!!
