History teaches us that in times of plague established relationships between workers and landowners undergo dramatic changes. Serfs become smallholders, employees become free-lancers, and straightforward tasks become the trials of Hercules. Welcome to the new world order.
I agonised along with you through all of this while guiltily laughing at the same time. Did hindsight say Red seems like he would have been the better option? It looks so serene and lovely now. Great post, Chris!
Of course the sarcastic answer is that Red couldn’t have been worse, but the reality is that I should have done more research, maybe had more survey work with accompanying engineering drawings, and possibly made some layout/scope changes based on more info. Nevertheless, it is done (albeit) with some drainage issues, and we are moving forward.
Excellent post...the writing drew me in immediately. Sorry you had to go through such an experience. It turned out great. Looking forward to hearing about the greenhouse.
What a great read - well done!
Thanks!

Thanks! Looking out over the ice, greenhouse construction seems weeks away.
