Cutting corners.
Laid the skirt over the muddy bit, which is now walkable 😆
Then dug out the huge area for the extended corner skirt. Last time I did this first and that was a mistake because the huge hole was very much in the way, so this time I did everything else first, then dug the corner. Experience!
Hoping to fill the trench back in today. The corner skirting goes slow as there's a lot of cutting and two-way grading.
Some black crud goes over the joints where I've trimmed the glue. Where its not trimmed it has a waterproof skin.
Also had to carefully dig out the adjoining piece from the previous section. I had a board there to protect it but that didn't work too well.

Trust me they were very happy on this wet walk - they look a bit bewildered at being asked to sit down while i checked the water tank (quite full of silt ‘cos of the rain this summer) #dogsofmastodon #homestead #flatcoatretriever #spaniel

Waited half a day for the mud to dry out a little and then squished around in it to drill a bunch more holes into the rocks, installed rebar, an end piece so the concrete doesn't run out and then the vertical part of the insulation, which are always a bit tricky to align.
In this section there were a lot of protruding rocks to be insulated around.
Then the extended footing on the bottom and the sun went down again.
Horizontal part tomorrow, I hope!

Since that's no good, I've been doing some other jobs this morning and hoping for it to dry a bit.
Under the old harrow I hauled away were several small Linden saplings. I dug them up and replanted them by the forest edge near the spring. Planting trees brightens the mood.
Then hauled some more junk up from the valley shack, including parts of this tiny hut that fell down. I found a message, someone had written "pasaku namelis" (little fairy house) on the inside above the door. Curious. Always wondered what that thing was for. Fairies, apparently. They seem to have moved out a while ago.

Well, that cover sure kept the rain out of the trench and it didn't get muddy at all 😬

A Day in the Life at Duffney’s Bird Barn
How I balance a remote career, homesteading, crochet, writing, and motherhood—one day at a time. People often ask me how I find time to do everything. Honestly... Some days I wonder the same thing. The weeds don't always get pulled. The laundry doesn't always get folded. The dishes aren't always done when I want them to be. Some crochet projects take longer than I planned, and there are days when my to-do list is still staring back at me when it's time for bed. I've learned that's […]https://duffneysbirdbarn.wordpress.com/2026/07/13/a-day-in-the-life-at-duffneys-bird-barn/

High time I got these concrete pylons levelled. Stuff arriving soon.
First attempt was to do it with wedges cut from birch logs. This would've worked if I had a few days to spend on it, but I did not.
Our little excavator can't lift the thick end of these (I worked out they weigh about 1.17 tons each), but it can reduce their weight enough so I could do the rest with some levers, including removing most of the tilt.
Then I wedged rocks under it for support and voila, level enough. At least until the next winter. I don't want to pour deep concrete footings under these nice big trees and fuck up their roots in the process, so this will have to do.

Out of dirt error.
I know where to get some, but now it's raining and mud sucks, so I'm organizing the sewing box instead.

The #Vulpibus folks are now just past the halfway point of their journey, which is only possible thanks to your #fedihelp #mutualaid!
But to get all the way there #gtfomystate, hundreds of dollars are still needed for the cost of fuel and food in this capitalist nightmare, and a few hundred more for preventing their car from being towed away for non payment of loans and insurance.
Let's call the goal $1000 over this next few days. This will help with a couple of maintenance things too hopefully.
Progress was made this last few days on the #electrical breaker box, on sewing of a lovely cloak for Inara, and on the gene editing system ( https://gitlab.vulpinedesigns.com and be sure to familiarise yourself with Qt Creator if you want to see the concepts being laid out first paw).
You are all amazing people living in this same messed up world as us. You know what you can and cannot manage to do. Be strong. Be loved. Receive the tolerance you give.

#Freestuff along the route always appreciated and considered.
One thing currently on the to get list is a clothes washing machine, preferably front load as a single or small unit sized combo machine with tumble dryer.
Another is a countertop sized dishwasher.
And a three quarters height, narrow width fridge-freezer.
If you have any of these spare in IA, NE or CO in working or easy-repair condition, please let us know.

When the bus reaches its destination, a commune is to be established with its own off grid systems and food growing. The lab is to be expanded. We intend to help people escape and learn and transform into what they truly want to be.
When I say we, I mean a broad loose-knit network of agents across the world who are a decentralised, unstoppable force for good. The Vulpibus is a catalyst and a tool, the people know how to use it.
Atha is to me a being with great potential focussing on survival when hir real impact should be felt from hir work on gene editing tools for freedom of form.
I fight for hir and everyone to get a fair chance at making that happen. I fight with nice words, sharp words and blunt words, and if needed I will fight with weapons.
A good Nazi is one remembered in history as the discarded husk of our disgraceful mistakes gone by, long since eroded to dust. That starts not just with brute force, but by confounding their efforts in sheer fucking spite.
Join with us now to do just that.

The #Vulpibus folks have had to get moving again. They really need all the #moneyhelp you can give them with #fuel and #food.
The good news is they have been making fast progress across unfriendly states and also a bit more progress on the Vulpibus itself and on the gene editing system design. The bad news is that progress could stall without your help.

It is No Spend January on the homestead.
This means-- aside from the obvious of not spending money-- that it is time to get creative with what we have in the freezers and pantries.
There is very minimal spending allowed, and it is really only if necessary for fresh produce. This is fine.
I made a batch of potato and onion soup that I have been eating through, as well as having eaten a small piece of the family's pot roast last night. Tonight, they had sausage and potatoes.
While looking through what we have, I decided to make butter with the heavy cream we had leftover from another project... which lead to the next plan of making a crusty Italian bread tomorrow that can be eaten with the soup, dipped in oil, or slathered in butter.
Not one to be known to take on an appropriate amount of projects simultaneously... homemade beef jerky is also on the menu for tomorrow. I figure the jerky is a good protein packed snack that will last for a bit, and even longer if I vacuum-pack it.
Wish me luck!

🛠️It's late in the day for #Wedsneigh, but I'm going to post this anyway, because I haven't done one in a while, and also because I'm extremely proud of this run-in shed, which was built with about 70% "woman-power" labor (💪) by those of us in the neighborhood who were learning to DIY as we went.

A little farm and garden update for the homies:
One of my favorite things about the #farm is that every day is pretty much a different experiment.
The mason jar filled with flowers is my attempt at making lilac oil using the #enfleurage technique. After steeping for a few weeks, it should be ready to go.
The meat photo? #capicolla! It's going to be vacuum sealed for a week, and then it shall go hang in my cellar with the #bresaola I've had hanging for two weeks now.
And the garden-- I've got everything in this photo planted except those buckets along the back wall. I'm building a raised bed for watermelons back there, but right now the buckets are back there as storage because I don't know what I'm going to use them for (or plant in them) yet. They'll probably end up going between the back fence and the big bed in the middle. If you have any ideas, let me know!
The next step aside from the watermelon bed is to finish laying cardboard out to kill weeds, and then cover it with wood chips and level everything, so it doesn't look, well, like it does in the photo.
Also, if you havent figured it out yet... I'm in my cottage core era now.
