Sunday I made Gooseberry Jelly, and learned something in the process.\u00a0 The jelly turns out clearer if you strain the fruit while it is hot, instead of waiting for it to be cool so you don’t burn your hands.\u00a0 Boo.<\/p>\n

\"It's<\/a>

It’s a bit cloudy, but still a pretty pink color.<\/p><\/div>\n

The benefit to making jelly is I don’t have to do as much preparation work on the berries, but the overall quantity is about half of what I get when making jam.\u00a0 Still it’s kind of fun making at least some jelly.\u00a0 The red currant jelly should be beautiful now that I’ve learned the trick about straining it when it’s hot.\u00a0 I’ll just have to figure out a way to keep my hands from bring burned.<\/p>\n

\"Trim<\/a>

Trim color is being changed from pink to yellow.<\/p><\/div>\n

The upper story needs to be repainted with the brown paint, still, but it’s a relatively small area.\u00a0 And the sunroom also needs to be repainted brown.\u00a0 So nice to see the trim color being changed, and it is starting to look all final colors.\u00a0 Exciting!!\u00a0 Such a long time getting to this point.<\/p>\n

We have more semi-major improvements we’re discussing for this summer, expanding our solar panel array which means some electrical work, a new controller, and wiring.\u00a0 And we’re discussing putting in a pressure tank instead of using a cistern and gravity feed for the water for the house.\u00a0 That is one of those things where we have three different options on where to install the pressure tank, and in order to accomplish any one of those final options, we’ll need to do a bunch of other things to make it possible.\u00a0 Fortunately Dan gets to figure that stuff out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
