Roof and Rails

This weekend, we got the metal on the porch roof. The job would be finished if the supplier had not given us ridge cap instead of rake angle.



Also some hand rail and a kitchen sink drain were installed. The hand rail was the last bit of the salvaged deck that Carolyn and I brought up a couple of years ago. Another successful use of "found materials".





As soon as the gas line is installed for the stove, we can finish the sheetrock.


And, finally, we made time for some relaxation...

My Son to the Rescue

This weekend, my son Jas'n drove up from his home in Florida to spend time with me working on the cabin. He is smart, strong, and good looking. The first two are going to be a trememdous help. We spent Saturday and Monday geting a roof over the back porch. We also put up tool hangers on the bath house for the aforementioned garden tools.













Sunday, we spent a little time recreating with some conservative friends at a shooting range. Later, we enjoyed a fine cookout.

Relaxing Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend, I mostly took it easy. I did completely empty my tool shed, thoroughly clean the inside, and rearrange everything neatly.






The garden tools were relocated to the bath house. See the logic? You dig and get dirty, Then when you put your tools away, you are right there where you can take a shower :)



While the shed was empty, I took the opportunity to shore up the floor with a center brace.



Probably the best part of the weekend was on the way out. I stopped to check on a tomato plant and I happened to notice that our raspberries were actually producing fruit. Some of it was even ripe! :)
