The Fat Ewe Farm Bed and Breakfast

PictureMouse droppings from the ceiling in the porch...gross! Fortunately, the mice were controlled 2 years ago, but previously, due to the construction of the porch, they had free reign inside and out. Now it will all be cleaned and rebuilt.
A dream starts with an idea, maybe just a passing thought, then as the mind shapes and forms the idea, the dream grows. Making dreams reality is sometimes not very easy, as in the case of the bed and breakfast. Unfortunately the previous owners left a very big mess for the new owner to clean up. Most of the hard work is done. Last week, both the farm house and the bed and breakfast were roofed. The patio, built poorly with incorrect materials for the applications, is also torn up and the porch of the farm house is torn off. The lawn is torn up and the garden reshaped. Progress is being made slowly. Maintenance is required on new and old properties and home owners without knowledge of construction, should either learn first before they create havoc for the future or do not touch. None the less, the Fat Ewe Farm Bed and Breakfast will soon be repaired, re roofed, re patiod, and almost all things that could go wrong have been repaired. Now it time to create beauty outside, to plant roses and flowers and quick growing vegetables and herbs.

The porch was built with poor wood over sand, but the door to the basement was sort of closed in, though not fully. This left an open door way for the mice to travel inside the house and out. The holes, nooks and crannies were all patched until the mice were no longer present inside. It is hard to believe the porch constructors never completely filled in the stairwell, which is why the floor bounced when it was walked on. Things are not turn key here, but slowly since 2011, they are being made right. It might be possible to once more utilize the basement stairs to outside, or inside the porch, once it is rebuilt. That would be very convenient since the only way down currently is through the trap door. In the next few days, if the rain stops, the plan will be formulated and executed.

In the meantime, the lovely bed and breakfast house is being frequented by wonderful guests. Their stay often creates instant friendships and camaraderie with hugs on their departure. How wonderful to be able to meet folks from all walks of life and various places with a plethora of world experiences, right here at the farm! This part is immensely enjoyable and very rewarding. Tomorrow's breakfast will be vegetarian and gluten free, something that is easily created in the kitchen. Watch for photos of the improvements as they happen. In the meantime, come set a while and put up your feet, relax.

Come and sit down, choose a book or just relax and chat. The 1940's velvet upholstered sofa is comfortable and awaits your arrival.
