Deck plans

Here are a couple of the sketches of the proposed deck that I drew up this summer.  I was hoping that we could put this together this year, but that old time and money thing said "hey, maybe next year."  Beyond fun outdoor living space, it adds a ramp entrance to the upstairs.

The end of drywall hanging

It's been a hot summer, hot enough to do your slow-cooking in the wheelbarrow, and enjoy a warm Lake Superior.  

 

I spent some time writing some songs and clearing out the downstairs.  This included building a funny temporary shed to get things out of the way.

 This August though, I've been able to get back to hanging drywall.  And as of Monday it's all up in place.

 This is a milestone not just because it checks a big task off of the list, but also because it means the wiring and plumbing rough-in is put away and I won't have to look at it or really think about it very much anymore.   See ya later (hopefully not).

 So the next phase is crossing a sea of white mud with a taping knife for a paddle.  I'm gonna need a lot of apples to keep me going, so get up in those trees, kids.
