Weather can be so hit or miss in the autumn, glad you are getting some seasonable stuff to make the work a little easier.
It would take me a little time to work up to getting up that early to get the big stuff done. These project must be so motivating as you are building permanent parts of your homestead and life!
Love to see it and be along for the adventure man!
Luckily the weather has been pretty good here, a bit cold but not windy or wet which is nice. It takes me a few days to train my sleep schedule down to going to bed that early.
They sure are, back when I was working for other people getting up early was a lot harder. But now I am building my future along with building a farm with my foreman indeed its quite motivating.
