It was a sick week around here. I was feeling it on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday Amélie was home from school. Now Naomi and Abigail have it. The girls also tried out some figure skating with Naomi. Strange thing to do when it is 80 degrees outside!
Managed to make some progress on the two big projects this week, but not much. Worked on some smaller ones as well - cutting boards and the lathe. On Wednesday I went to Neighbor Rick's cabin to help him tear it down. He is salvaging what he can to build a new, smaller place with. It's a great spot up there. He apologizes to the silence before beginning work.
Picked up the last load of bricks for the final window well. They are now in place. Working on the floor joists for the wood stove. Surprised such long 2x10s were not as expensive as I expected. Menards actually had some nice ones. Reworked the TV area to make space for the stove pipe. It will be ugly for a while longer, but functional. Need to build a cabinet for that spot at some point.
The garden is doing well apart from some white stuff that is spreading across pumpkin leaves. I guess they are out of time. Other things are just getting up and moving, so we shall see what the warm weather brings. We are loving the tomatoes.
