Critter Update

We spent today at the cabin for Sig's birthday. We played more than worked.

I built a little wall rack for the archery equipment.


I got the water turned on for spring, got the snowmobiles parked. Oh, and I swapped out the video cards in the trail camera.

We had a lot of interesting visitors in the last nine months or so.

We had a raven come by a few times, and a bunny.

We had a few ungulate families coming through.


 




Behold this handsome fellow!


 

This canine (wolf? coyote?) spent a fair amount of time in the east woods:


Our bear wandered by.


But the real story was cats.

Cats, cats and more cats.

Then this handsome fella, who was sporting the latest digital wearable technology.

In that time, I took another truckload of tool buckets down to the storage container, then picked up all the floor protection in the great room and vacuumed and mopped. It's glowing! Then I went back down to the storage container to get a hammer so I could glue in 32 wood plugs to cover the screws for the french doors. I fought with installing the screens, but the frames are too big! The manufacturer said "yeah we don't even make th...

Appliances and mirrors

In pursuit of being ready for final, I came up and installed the fridge and dishwasher with Jeff. We hung mirrors in the bathrooms.

Fit and finish stuff

Jeff and I worked on repairing the drywall gap in the stairwell and tricky bits of wood trim in that space; sorry, no photos. Christina practiced cabinet knob installation and did some more work adjusting the cabinet doors and drawers. Jeff and Jon got half of the stairwell closet space drywalled. I didn't realize it was a fire code requirement; I had been planning to leave it open to make utility repairs easier. But it's got to be done, and now the difficult parts are.
