Day 3 & 4


Yesterday the hard long days were catching up to us so we slept a bit longer and started around 7:30am. Half way down at the end of the day we realized we had not taken any pics for you guys, so we are catching up today. The work we did yesterday kinda took a long time with little
to show for it. The bed was the project of the day as we had 4 posts to dig in 2 feet deep and 5 more to dig in 1 foot deep. So the picture above is the pic from today but you can see the bed to the right. Yes, it's really high, but we really wanted a high bed as we've never had one and this way we have LOTS of storage space. It's so high we'll probably have to make a ladder or something to be able to get in. And we did little projects along the way, but the day just didn't feel as productive as usual.

So today We got a lot more done. The picture on the right is what we saw on our way up to jungle camp. It got down to 2 degrees celsius over night and was 3 at 6:00am. A very cold morning. I finished smoothing the top of the bed so it doesn't poke a hole in our air mattress, and the rest of my day was spent with my hands in clay covering the stove 2" thick. Nate got a lot more to show by the end of the day.

He put in the posts for our benches around the table, ....




and he made the frame for our one counter...



and he started on our sink counter and window frames. We've got friday and saturday to work, and Sunday is our day of rest. Then monday to wednesday the guys are on their hike around tobermory area. Then we have Thurday Friday of next week and Saturday is move up day! The week is going by really quick and so we are starting at 5:30 tomorrow to ensure we have walls up before Nate goes on the hike=)

On that note, good night to all!
