Garry had a good workday and everything went well. The nails are the right ones- the compressor worked great. He said it's been sitting around for years unused, and it works so much better than the new ones they buy that it's going to become a permanent part of the shop. They finished eleven trusses today, he had lots of help for building and turning them over to finish the other side.
Only problem is they might have finished the rest tomorrow but they only have enough nails to do one or two more trusses, so they will have to order more and hope they are in for the weekend. He thinks there's enough lumber cut and he needs more glue for when the nails come, but he can pick that up at Nova Lena. He was enjoying these cookies and some other things Alona baked today when he called me. I know where my cow cookie cutter is- still in Ukraine!
When they put in the new milk cooler at the barn, the old one was moved into an addition built on the cheese room, and both tanks were pretty full on Monday. that's 6000 litres.
We always had people buying milk like crazy the week before Easter for making paska bread, and then no one has money to buy milk after the holiday.
If you are wondering, by this time next week Garry will be flying out of Moldova (Thursday morning).
