Doe, a deer

Happy Monday! It seems as though spring just doesn't want to show up, as we received yet another night/day of snow. When I talked to the Greek he said they had 6 inches up at the property.  Hard to believe it was mostly all gone just a day ago.

 

The game plan on Saturday was to cut in, and install the 4 windows. We ended up purchasing two matching windows at Home Depot for the side facing the road, and the other 2 that were gifted to us, were on opposite sides.

 

Windows: Complete

 

Window number 1.

Please, no photos!

 

This is the side facing the street.

 

Next on the list for Saturday was completing the floor. This consisted of, lining the floor with a layer of ice and water shield, and then laying plywood.

 

Making sure the floor will be all sealed up.

C-Laying some floor

We decided to update our previous door/sawhorse table to this nice combo set that we had sitting in storage.

The floor is completed, for now.

 

While eating some yummy Shepherd's Pie, we were discussing how the deer ate all of the corn from the feeder, and they even tore the feeder down! We had a visitor looking for more food.

 

 

 

Sunday rolled around quickly, and RobSr. had a game plan.

 

1. Dig up the pump

2. Close in open areas on Porchouse

3. Wrap the Porchouse with tar paper

 

After enjoying some pancakes, we got right to it.

 

Rigging up the contraption

In case you were wondering, this is the well.

That orange hose-looking thing is the pipe to the well, and it's like 200 feet long.

 

The Greek brought his tractor, and chainsaw to help us start to clean up some miscellaneous things that we didn't need laying around anymore. We cut up the shed doors and he cut our pile of firewood for us, to make it easier to transport and put into containers.

 

 

After the pipe was dug up, RobSr. and C began wrapping the Porchouse.

 

 

And they also closed in all of the open areas.

 

 

Where the plywood is sticking out used to be exposed. This allowed the heat out, and the smoke from the fire in. NO GOOD. This is obviously not a problem anymore.

 

This image is from another day, but I still wanted to put it on here. It's me and the Greek. Probably in February, no snow and warmer than it is now at the end of March!
