Progress, Slow Progress

When you live in the country, you don't just slow down, everything else does, too. We've been waiting over a month for our well to be fixed - still dealing with the rotten egg sulfur smell - and it looks like our wait is almost finally over. The well people kept telling us they were waiting for their concrete guys to build the pad. We finally found a concrete guy ourselves and the pad is already prepped and will be filled in Saturday. By Monday, weather permitting, we should get the holding tank put in and our issues will be over. 

As for the barndominium, we're seeing progress on that as well. We've approved the interior design and the elevation design. All that's left is the electrical design which we should get next week and once that's approved by us, we're good to go. It's more than time to break ground!

For our land, we're turning in the AG exemption paperwork tomorrow which we've already been told will be approved with no issues. However, we've got to get more animals by the year's end which won't be an issue for me. More goats and hopefully donkeys will be joining the herd soon. We'll also be getting our own guinea hens which don't count for AG exemption but do get rid of snakes. I'm all for that!

Speaking of animals, Cocoa is doing good, but her abscess is being difficult to drain. She really doesn't like the nightly draining and shot treatment we have to do, regardless of how many treats we give her. Hopefully soon it will be a distant memory and she'll go back to enjoying our company. I sure love all my babies!
