nyc_george, don’t be too surprised by a $25,000 estimate. Check with a tax advisor if it’s a medically necessitated remodel it maybe tax deductible in your state. If the tax person says yes, have the doctors write the script or a letter that it’s needed.
Todd, yep same in Wisconsin. No dog chasing of deer but the previous administration cut the DNR so deep they won’t enforce it
JeffH, do you put the feed out all Winter?
Troy, are you basically in one hotel or are you having time to get around? The Vegas shows and the food places IMO are out of this world great, or were before Covid
Alcomotive, James I hope the news is good on your sister and dad
From the love seat in So. Central Wisconsin I can see the snow falling gently from a grey low sky. The grass is covered, the driveway is starting to have some coverage. The fields and paddocks south of the house, well the white ground now blends nicely with the white fencing. I see no horses out there this morning. It is 31f degrees feels like 25 and it is heading up to 35. Hopefully the white stuff melts before the next snow fall. Which the app says should happen this evening. I have (I think) 2 working out of 3 weather stations on the property. They are not showing any snow accumulation. When I inspect today, I will check them out. I have a third station that is waiting for a circuit board. Hey, I like my toys!
Back to being the property overseer today. After 7 full years of owning but we are in year 6 living on property, the daily regime is pretty set. The crews know what to do. The stables are cleared 1st of snow, then our house, the daughter’s place, the horses (most) going outside are blanketed and let out into the paddocks. There are a few horses the grooms will exercise in the arena. The trails will be checked later today but while we have coverage from the snowfall, there should not be much coverage in the woods. Terry has been spending time with the Vet who will take over the stables 2/1/2023. She will be fully licensed for Wisconsin in January. Above the Veterinary Clinic are 3 apartments. That is where she has been staying since she came here. She is going to move into the bigger apartment and offices above the stables. So in the spare time they have, she and Terry are going over design upgrades.
I started a weathering project yesterday in my Continuous weathering thread. Smudge617 helped get the weathering juices flowing by posting his 1st gondola weathering project. An excellent start by Chris. But and a big WOW to Airbrusg#5. He has his own thread as he weathers a ROCK gondola. The man has skills, check it out, a superb job being shown! I have a couple more pictures to add but I doubt I have time for more weathering today. The inside of the gondola is weathered and I started the fade process on one side of the car. No airbrush being used on this
enjoy the day
