Actually next property trip is June 21st thru the 24th. With Lee's help we will have a new and beautiful deck! I am pumped for this! We will have a great place to sit and enjoy the views. I might even have a new truck by then to make the trip in!
Good to be back home again. I forgot I had the next day(today) off! Went to work only to turn around and head back home. The Next property trip will be Friday June 20th. Lee wants to go again. He is a demon when it come to building things. He is a regular 1 Man construction crew Tornado! We will work on getting the "Box" for the deck in place. May even have a shot at finishing the whole darn thing..........

Returned from a very good trip! With the help of Lee we laid the foundation for our new deck. Lee is returning with us June 21st thru June 24th to continue work on the deck. Also completed new critter feeder and some molding work. Ran into Roger Alumbaugh for the 1st time in several years and had a good chat.

4 footings have now been poured for the deck! We have stopped for the day and now taking showers. We have rigged up a system where we heat rainwater collected by our home made collection contraption. Water is heated by propane and a "Bear cooker" grill. Steaks cooked in the canmpfire are on the menu for tonight!
Raining this morning. Need it to stop so we can pour concrete. We can still dig the holes in the rain tho. It is cool today (63 degrees) and cool weather is what we need to do the hard labor part of this trip. Ron is going to build a chipmunk feeder today as well. The old one fell down.
