Beate and Tim cleared the worst part of the steep defensible space, which was a huge relief. It frees Andy for other things now.
Hereβs a picture of him showing Kaitlin his electronics βlab.β
And hereβs a picture of them planting the Ponderosa pine tree.
The plants in the greenhouse thrived during the fire, but they needed serious work after a couple of months of neglect while Andy was replacing the watering system and working on the defensible space.
Yesterday Kaitlin cleaned it out and rototilled the soil.
How wonderful is that?

An abundance of help!! A dream come true!!!
Yes!
I love the view of your home in the first and last photo. so beautiful and green and a focus that it is on a mountain top, and the last view through the green house. Wild Clapping for Kaitlin
I especially love pictures of the house through the greenhouse windows. π
That is so wonderful of Kaitlin to help out so much. We hope you all had some nice relaxing visiting time too.
We did, we had a great time.
A little bit of paradise!
Yes. π
Wow, she did a fabulous job! I love this pic of your house on the hill. You live in a modernistic fortress!
Our “moat” is 100 feet of little vegetation for defense against forest fires.
Daughters who come and work are a blessing indeed. Ours comes and cooks so we can thaw and reheat. Yay!
That’s great too. π
so Kaitlin came on a working weekend – and wow didn’t she do well – now for Andy to get some seeds and plants in – for the next harvest… And to top it all off family came to see you both π
They planted seeds the next day —Kaitlin, Andy, and Beate.
Kaitlin did a fantastic job on clearing out the greenhouse. So glad it was a nice visit.
She not only cleaned it out, she threw the old plants far from the buildings. She said one beet was so big she needed two hands to carry it.
What a blessing — both your neighbors and Kaitlin!
Yes. π
Awesome!
Yes. π
That looks like hard work!
Well done Kaitlin!
It was an enormous amount of work, and she finished it before we got up there around noon.
