Some more progress, but still not there

Things are slowly moving.  Not fast enough for us, and we are doing what we can to get it going at a proper pace. It's been a little while since I last updated the blog with building progress, and a fare amount has happened since then.

The white doors in the picture above are only painted with a primer coat, the final color will be a deep oxblood red.

Back at home, the chilies are making great progress. We should have the first Jalapeños next week, with the other varieties soon to follow.
