Summer Maintenance a MUST!

Every season brings about new duties. The dominion mandate brings about a flurry of activities on any piece of property, large or small. While Parson's Manor is not a big place, the jobs can seem overwhelming. With only a day or so a week to devote to such projects, they have to be chosen carefully, and one such project is to fix a leaky roof on the barn, and replace the siding that has been "self-removing" for some time. 

The barn was built in the early 70's and is showing its age. Untreated Oak lumber has withstood the test of time pretty well, but again, all of creation is groaning for redemption, and this barn is no exception. So with some recycled pallet boards, an 84 year old Dad, and about a day and a half, new life was breathed into this old barn. I am thankful for the help, and the time to spend with Dad, and there is never a time that I don't come away saying, "I learned so much today." 

Fathers walking alongside their sons is an experience that can't be replicated in any other way. We both celebrated Father's day together and share June Birthday's. Then on top of all these blessings, my brother Steve (also born in June!) and his son Kevin, along with two Kevin's  sons joined in before we were through, and now I have power, lighting, and a pretty sturdy, leak-proof barn. So this is the "generations barn" now, and to see it all coming together, check out the slide show on the PARSON'S POND page....
