We’ve been spending most of our time getting ready for springtime, and putting most of our energy into the honeybees and farmland. But we also managed to find the time to completely empty and clean this garage! Among a small amount of trash, we found seemingly endless amounts of really cool “new” in box items from many, many decades past. Almost everything we found was in good condition! Incredible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After careful consideration, we decided that Evan’s honeybee workshop would be better suited in this garage, at the forker ryokan, instead of the garage at Benton Guesthouse. It just makes a lot more sense to have his workshop in this space, so he doesn’t have to worry about interfering with guests, or making saw mill noise by the guesthouse and neighbors. I bumped up this garage to top priority!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you can see the series of four videos sorting through all the items in the garage. Keep scrolling to see photos, and the beginning of the next step: repairing water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
