Oct. 27th and 28th

We carved up a pumpkin for Halloween, cute little guy. Actually I wanted to make pumpkin seeds on top of the woodstove and needed the seeds. 

Also bought Monopoly and kids really played a storm up, they need to learn some strategy but it was fun. The wee one had more properties then the rest of us but no cash....

Got the first sheet of drywall hung in the bedroom. There are 5 more 10 footers ready and waiting to hang. Temps were of in the 40's and low 50's. We kept the stove busy usually in the morning and evening to keep the temps comfortable. The place should be a joy once all the insulation has been installed. Temps never dropped below 60 even with it in the low 30's Sunday morning.

Really think I will install an exhaust vent in the upper roof over the great room to help pull smoke out. Got a bit smoky in the cabin opening the woodstove door.

October Update

Well we have been up here for the last two weekends but no pictures. Mostly working on electrical stuff, bedroom has lights and outlets. We also got stuff organized to get the power upstairs done next trip. Weather has been ok, cool mornings etc. Have not had to rely on the woodstove, temps have been 65 to 70 in house. Looks like this weekend will test our cold weather ability as night time temps will go into high 20's.

Drywall time approaching fast, bedroom is first and then main hallway. Kitchen after that once we finish wiring the kitchen.

Kids got Monopoly game and that has been a great time waster for us. That and squirrel feeding.
