Plans for 2023
We sat down to share with you some of our plans for 2023. I don’t mind saying, I’m a bit nervous!

2022 in Review
It’s hard to believe 2022 is over.We had a lot of accomplishments this year, and we go over them all in this weeks video.Some of them were:* shower shack* cuvert installed* lots of demo* skirting* electrical work
Garlic, Firewood and cleanup!
While working on getting some firewood ready for the cabin, I checked on the garlic and decided to do some much needed cleanup from our first solar project It had been 4 weeks since I planted the garlic, and it’s coming along very nicely! Because of the size of our wood stove, this batch of …
Gotta fix that stove
I noticed flames showing at the base of the chimney where it connects to the stove.That was not good. With colder temperatures upon us, I didn’t want to wait to get it fixed, so took the time to get it taken care of before we end up killing ourselves.
Chim chimney…
Oh yea, I was singing the song, With a cold front headed in, I knew it was time to get that chimney swept. Last year, while it got done, I wasn’t happy with how it worked.This year, I think I finally found the tool to make the job much easier and I feel it did …

Cabin skirted!
We first started this project in the early Spring, and just finally got it completed, and even with that, what I expected to 2 in a single weekend, took 2. We are happy with the outcome though. It looks the way my bride wanted, and that’s what matters.I’m looking forward to seeing what a difference …
Skirting – Part 2
Day 2, and really wanted it to be the final day of this project.But that battery issue I had just wasn’t going to make that possible, even when using a handsaw.
