Finally cleaned the fermentation carboy we found in the root cellar. The content tasted pretty vinagery and bitter unfortunately…
#raccoonskull we found in the attic. We know some lived there when the house was abandoned. Not sure how it died.
old plugs buried in the yard were given a face
đź’ˇarcheological finds, buried behind the shed a few feet deep.
After cutting down the sage bush, what looked like just an oval bed is now revealed to have been once a #permaculture herb spiral.
This wood palette is from Norway and was used as a floor board in the shed. It says “freezer & fridge” apparently.
Found this name tag. It means “high little house” ;) Probably the last name of the family who built the house in the 30s and lived/vacationed there till 10 years or so ago when it became abandoned.
Don’t know if this was meant to keep real frogs away or attract them…
The power outlets from the shed are also still functional and quite charming / antique looking
Learned from our electrician neighbor that this cable is very old, from when ground was not yet standardized as green & yellow. He says it’s still in perfectly good condition to be reused and will outlive us both.
Aerial picture from 1938 shows our garden house.
