Latest Construction Update
We were in Tahoe this week to check on the construction (and to do a bit ourselves). Since the last time up, they have tiled 2 of the bathrooms and gotten most of the wood on the ceilings. Elizabeth painted ceilings in some of the rooms. I installed the vanity that Daniel and I made out of Ikea cabinets.
Update: Just added a few more pictures from Elizabeth’s last trip up. A little more trim done, the bathroom door hung.
Rick stopped by while my parents were out here visiting. So, we took the whole family out to see his plane. It was the first time my parents have seen the plane he is flying these days. Rick, here are the full size images.
I am getting into beekeeping. Bruce convinced me to make a few “top bar” or Kenya hives. We built the hives a couple of weeks ago and then I got on a swarm list. Today I got a call that there was a swarm near me. None of us had ever tried this, but it went perfectly. Now I have a few thousand bees installed in my hive. Hopefully, they will set up shop and start making honey and more bees. Here is a short video of us getting the swarm into a box so we can bring it home. After that we sealed up the box and put the buzzing box in the car and drove it home. Here is a longer video of us getting the swarm from the box into the hive.
Now I have 2 hives. One of them has a window in the side. Here are some pictures.
