Hey everyone! It’s been a while since we’ve posted an update or even a video. We have had a bunch of things going on. Just to give you an idea of what we have been up to here is this weeks do list…

1. Install the aircraft cable around the ceiling.

2. Finish blocking.

3. Build a closet for the electrical box.

4. Make some steps for the doors.

In between these jobs we got distracted with fixing something on the backhoe, multiple runs to the lumber yard or the hardware store, and friends popping in for visits.

We do our best to remember to film things as we go. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always go as planned. For instance, this week our stove arrived (so exciting!). So we pulled out the camera and filmed an unboxing video. Sadly, it wasn’t until we got home that we realized there was no audio. Lesson learned… always check the battery in the mic before shooting anything!

Even though the filming didn’t go all that well… I’m still very excited about my stove! It’s an off-grid range made by “Unique.” These stoves have a battery powered igniter for the stove top and pilate light for the oven. Ain’t she lovely???

Now that it’s summer break, our whole family hangs out here while Pete works. We lend a hand when we can… or friends come and give us a good push (i.e. help build stairs). This week has its own “to do” list that will need to be balanced with family fun times. Trips down to the lake, bonfires, ice cream and coffee breaks, etc…

Until the next update… Keep smiling!
