This is, of course, in addition to managing the restoration, overseeing the septic installation, taking care of all permit issues, keeping the books, and dealing with the daily problems of the farm.

I, on the other hand, just have to get a loan to finance all of the above. Dawn definitely got the easy end of the deal this time.

Addendum: By the end of August, Dawn had completed almost all of this! So we gave her more.

The privy. It's a three-holer with separate men's and ladies sections, though we're not sure which side is which.
