Novemburrrrr? Wait it's May12!!!!

Or something, serious cold front blew in this weekend. On houses with no heat ( also known as cabins) there was snow on the roofs this morning. Strong winds blew all Saturday and Sunday too.
Flurries were present most of Saturday and Sunday morning. Sunday night temps to bottom out in upper 20's

Sunday wave action on lake, Saturday had larger waves

Ben and I made smores in the afternoon. 

Mama bird not sure what is going on , but get off the porch she was not happy. Second year we had a robin on the porch nesting.

We did not do anything this weekend. Too tiring with other stuff eating into the Saturday and no Friday arrival. Had a nap and made plans for future work. We got 8 pieces of 12 foot long drywall to install and 2 pieces of 10 foot drywall to install. Also rechecked the kitchen cabinets for correct size. Just add money!!!

April 27-28th

Have not posted due to not much getting done. Had a couple of weeks busy doing other things so we were really excited to get up and have a weekend at the old place. Weather "finally" broke and temps were reasonable.  Has been a cold rainy Spring.

Jr. Plumber heading to work on water lines for sink

And yes, I am under the crawl space and Ben is in picture. Real cozy under there.

Hey man I was nappin.....

We eat Victor Dog food and we do not like it. I'm serious. Really.

We did get water running to the sink, then the pump motor burned up. Argh. Always have spare jugs of water.

March 23-24

Winter still has it's grips on the area.

Ben an I had the weekend to do guy things and so we went outside to shoot old eggs up.

His bb gun shoots high and the sights are not adjustable so we worked on making a mental adjustment to get the target hit.

Did some electrical work, now working on kitchen electric and lighting.

Spent more time just being mellow.

a year ago.....

Last year we were up north running around in shorts. This year  I'm huddled at home, 2 inches of snow last night covers all the mud.

I would take the shorts and warm weather any day.

bathroom sink

Finally got the picture downloaded but this is the new bathroom sink. HD had a great price and it was time for a sink. We got the pex run to the pump room and need to hook up the lines for water. Next trip or two we will have running water and then we will add the hot water tank for the house.

March 8 2013

Three day weekend AND decent weather as well!!! Ben started showing interest in video making so we brought the camera and took a quick video.

We got a bathroom sink at the HD and spent Saturday installing it. We tried to get the water running but we broke a fitting and so no running water. Temps are not supposed to be above freezing this week so no biggee.

Feb 9-10 camping in the cold

We only went up 2 times in January, not much happened, no pics and usually a one day trip. Too cold, too depressing- go figure that out.

Hank working hard on the drive north. Don't try this at home, professional stunt dog!!!

Temps at 5AM were -12 degrees(as in minus-negative)
according to the folks at Garrett's. So by 10AM we hit a whopping 15 degrees. At least it was positive. We had the woodstove working and the kerosene heater on high to help warm it up.

By early afternoon it was popping 80 and actually got to 90 degrees before we went to bed. Kids were running around barefoot and lightly clothed. Whole house was feeling warm. Sat up on night watch and kept fire going till 2am, then kinda was too sleepy to reload it and fire went out. Temps had dropped into 50's by 5am.

Silly picture of these two goofs. Hunter was on couch and Hank on floor till I pulled out camera and then they both switched spots. Goofy dudes. They look sad cause I just told them we had to get going before the ice/rain started.
