It was cold last night and already our first frost…too darn early!
Sunny today as we prepare to begin to set the first cabin. Greenbay has ripped down the first log so it will fit flat against the floor and the beam saw kicks the breaker next door where we are plugged in. It’s happened before, but since Carol, my neighbor, is in Arizona and the folks that have her keys are now gone, we have no way to reset the breaker…bummer.The state electrical inspector is due to stop tomorrow morning to give his stamp of approval and San Miguel Power will be here to run their cable in the conduit we buried. So maybe by tomorrow afternoon we will have our own power.
Greenbay and I finish the day out running bituthane around the perimeter of the area where the cabin will sit. This is great waterproofing material and unbelievably sticky too; once stuck it's there to stay.
Joe and I earlier today moved the balance of the treated logs up and now we have everything stacked on the floor, covered for weather and ready to go as soon as we get power. I am hoping by the end of the week we will have the cabin up.
My mom’s cousin, Virginia, came by today with friends for a quick visit. It was good to see her but unfortunately she was feeling a little dizzy and they left shortly after lunch.
After everyone left tonite, I headed for the crawl space again with my respirator and rubber gloves to continue working on the drain lines. After 2 ½ hours of work I completed another section of plumbing, including the pipe under the footing that will very soon be hooked up to a new septic tank.
