Day on the ranch

My cousin had a chore she wanted tackled that had been put off for a while.  The task was installing a hood over her cast iron kitchen range/oven.  Sounds simple enough.  Complicating factors:  the house is nearly 100 years old,  the exterior walls including the wall the stove is on are 18” thick lava stone,  the ceiling is exposed beam with a beam right over the stove, there is no electrical power on that wall for the hood fan and light.  It became quickly apparent why the task had bee put off.  It took the efforts of four people for most of the day but the final installation looks clean and functions well and will be a good addition.

Late in the afternoon Ken, Julie, Amanda, and Nicholas arrived from their stay on the Oregon coast.  Again the new kids were introduced to Lizzy and the quad and ranch life became interesting.
