Yes, we have neglected our blogging duties since March 2016. We have been busy constructing and farming and not posting regularly to social media. Lots of pictures have been taken of the process and posted to our portfolio (link to portfolio). Several highlighted projects are below:

We built 2 vault privies. One for RambleRill Farm and one for the confluence property of the Eno River Association.

ERA Privy

We also built a huge horse facility for Rohan Farm in Mebane, NC. Just a few thousand feet of fencing for good measure. Fence was a combination of woven wire and 3 board. We also performed grading, road relocation, water distribution and hydrants, and a barn.

At other client locations we built fences to contain horses, goats, and chickens, fences to keep out deer, a hay barn converted to an agri-tourism destination, some large chicken runs/aviaries, and some major grading work just to name a few projects.

And our pigs at Busted Bucket Farm got huge!

And Frank grew some beautiful lettuce!

Hydrant Repair

All of the things that we find out have freeze damage have to be repaired now that spring is coming. We had to dig up this hydrant and fix the connection at the elbow. Although it was 2 feet down, it appears that frost heaving near the surface levitated the hydrant upwards thus disconnecting it.

Wintertime Water Woes

For the past week we have had extremely cold weather along with a covering of ice and snow. Anyone with livestock had double duty getting liquid water and food to the animals.

If you didn’t have an underground water distribution system with freeze-less hydrants and a heated well, you were probably running out of liquid water in your troughs. There were probably piles of ice beside the troughs that you couldn’t even use. Of course you can always improvise with a water tanker, but maybe it is time to consider a water distribution system to ease winter watering chores.
