Fine Fall Day


I love this pic but I took it today with my phone and I know it won't print . . .  not enough pixels or pixies or Fairy Queens.  Not enough quality to print any size at all -- so it won't win any County Fair prizes.  In thinking about this beautiful photograph tho,  it is probably going to win the Too at Twin Lakes photo contest! 

How's that for taking care of myself!   

This weekend (or this Sunday and Monday visit) Himself is going to spray insulate the bottom side of the new cabin.  He has researched this procedure and insulation product.  He has asked questions.  He has purchased the pressurized tanks of foam, his haz mat suit and a respirator.  He is ready.  My role tomorrow is to call 911.  Not that I'll need to do that because Himself has done the research.  But.  Just in case. 

So, the pressurized foam had to be brought to room temperature which required 24 hours and to apply the material the outdoor temperature has to be 60 - 80 degrees.  The weather forecaster predicted warm temps so that is what brought us on this Sunday/Monday visit.  We came down this morning.  Lit the heater in the little cabin and Himself carried in the tanks of goop.  Then, with the day ahead of us and not wanting to just sit and watch a pressurized tank warm up (how could we tell ; )  we went to work. 




Himself puttied and primed and sorted and sifted.  I finished putting together this wood pile stand.  Then, we proceeded to fill it up.  We had a pile of wood on the ground, in a soggy pile so we sorted and stacked.    



We picked up logs and threw logs and stashed and carried and kicked logs.  We gotter  done!  Got the messy pile picked up, got the wood off the ground so it can dry out and opened up a path so that we can get a golf cart, a Dodge Journey or even a delivery truck down the hill to our cabin, if we need too.  Another benefit of getting the wood up off the ground is that varmits like rats and snakes and Mama Cats with 7 kittens can't be making nests in that wood pile.  Whew!  disaster averted! 

Come back soon for the rest of the story -- insulating the underside of the Big Cabin.
