Raising the Flag (pole)

What a fantastic weekend!  The weather was beautiful, the mosquitoes were slightly less than their normally obnoxious selves, and we spent another a wonderful weekend at the schoolhouse.

The best improvement was getting the old flagpole back into place in front of the school.  If you were curious – it is very heavy.  But it looks so right, right here.  Coming soon…a flag, of course.

Next, it was time to apply ourselves to our schoolwork and finish the dismantling of the chimney on the main floor.  Here is start and finish of that project for this weekend.

I don’t usually do product placement here – but for those of you who know my skill with a hammer, this little device was a life (finger) saver, many many times over.  It’s just a little plastic disk that fits over the chisel, but if ever I was in love with a tool, this is is.

And last but not least, we would like to introduce the newest pupil at schoolhouse.  This is Jax, a rescue dog who is now part of our forever family.  Welcome Jax – you move to the head of the class!
