Enjoying the weather. Maybe something will come by. If not, I’m bound to get a good nap out of it.

We see some cool stuff out at the property. Cottonmouths, rattlers and copperheads unfortunately make the list. As of the past few weeks, there’s been a number of large hogs tearing up the trails.

Several weeks ago we ran into this snapping turtle waddling down the road.

I inched a small stick in front of him. He snapped. I tinkled ever so slightly. We left.

A few weeks ago, we were packing up and I started to clean out the Mule. This caterpillar was crawling around some folding chairs we had sitting in the back.

One pine down, snapped right in the middle. Not too bad.

We were able to deck to roof, add Tyvek, and drop the windows.

Now it’s time to go hangout with the boys at the river.

How’s that for 3 full days of work? All exterior walls, interior walls, decking and roofing framed.

This is the fun stuff.

We’d hoped to get up the 4 exterior walls, but managed to get up that plus 4 interior walls too
