Today, being the last non-rainy day for a while, was spent cutting back blackberries and weeds again. I cut a path to what I thought was the pumphouse – and cleared the door. However, it turned out to be the “old” pumphouse – and there was no pump once I was able to get inside. All of the morning’s work was spent clearing a path to an abandoned building.
The afternoon was spent clearing a space in the field for the burn barrel – and we found a rusty horse trough at the old pumphouse that will work as our burn barrel, so there was a silver lining to the morning’s work. I’ll likely tear down the old pumphouse, as it’s pretty unsafe.
