One of the most important things we needed to do on Wednesday was to locate the water line. Right now the electrical lines are attached to a 4×4 on the cabin. We need to move them while we take the roof off and build the walls. We’re getting a pole from Kandi Power Co-op and […]
6 tools – it’s time to destroy!
November 20, 2016 by
We gathered some tools (always at least 6 for an official project) and started the actual cabin demolition on November 1st.

One of the things we love most about spring is having all of the wildlife return, especially the loons! There were many clouds, but in the end we were treated to a pretty sky. You just never know until it’s over how pretty the sunset will be! 🙂
