Weather

.
Here's the weather forecast for the next 10 days in Tennessee. I guess we're going to freeze to death. But we will see snow! Though probably not enough for sledding.

I've ordered the lumber and it will be delivered Monday morning. The total came out at $938. The cost of lumber has gone up almost 12%. The Tennessee sales tax of 10% kills you also.

I'd like to get the frame for the roof finished in the next 10 days, so that all I've got to do on a future trip is put up sheathing and metal. But it's rather a farfetched goal, considering how slow I work alone, and the span's 36 feet.

Next year by this time I'll have a stove in the cabin.

'Drifters': Part I

Part I of Drifters is now complete. Drifters is the multi-year story of our experience with the Gila Wilderness.

The girls and I are heading up to Tennessee to continue building the roof New Year's Eve. It looks like we may have a full 10 days - I should get a lot done. The girls hope it snows.
