Getting ready to put up the fences

We have had a family here that we have been working with for many years.  The Husband, we shall  call "Joe", Is a good worker, and work keeps him sober.  We often have him working with Vlady.  A year ago we lost track of Joe, and despite searching the streets and parks, we could not find him. 

Today Joe reappeared, and was in need of some work.  A little while later we had a call from a young friend of ours working on his diploma paper.  We was in need of some money and was wondering if we had any work.   So we gathered them both up and took them to the farm with us.

Our other young friend is busy clearing the fence line getting ready to put up the fence in a couple days .

windows are in front and back, up and down, and the roof is on.  Now they are starting on the walls .
Its nice to be able to spend some time with our friend Kolya as well.  We have worked with him for a long time now.  He has been working out at the farm since we started the barn.  He is such a hard worker.  Today Emma and I went and bought all the supplies the guys will need for the next couple days .    

Tomorrow we will be going to Lake Isikool  for a couple days .  We have a friend from Canada here visiting right now, and it will be a great opportunity for us to have a little R&R.  Jengish is working on a movie shoot right now, and will also be in the Isikool region for a couple days, maybe we will meet up with him for a little bit.
