Incoming Projects at the Farm
The home inspection highlighted several immediate repairs and desired upgrades:

- Upgrade: Replace existing 35gal tank with a high-capacity 85gal electric tank (to support Erin"s legendary hot showers).
- Front Door Threshold: Rot detected under font door. Requires sistering a 2x8 board to existing structure. (Contractor project: tight crawlspace access.)
- Back Deck: Poor condition; likely demolition and rebuild project.
