Trooper

Les is a real trooper!  He heads out the door, bundled in many layers and armed with a thermos of hot tea, each morning.  He comes home  ten hours later chilled with wind-flushed cheeks and damp clothes.  It is pretty awesome that our "forever" home will have so much sweat equity from an amazing husband and father! 
 
 
Everything is ready for garage framing.
 
 
The deck is looking really great. Bobcat landscaping is the weekend's project so that the final deck section can be completed next week.  We are loving the wrap around deck.
 
 
A little toboganning fun right outside the front door!  The boys are pretty excited that they can toboggan without even going anywhere.  Please excuse the poor picture quality.  I must go check the camera settings!

Colds and Cold

Good riddance to cold weather and our houseful of colds!  Things are looking up, weather-wise, with a milder forecast for several days. Earlier in the week was spent clearing snow and digging deck material out of drifts.  Les said it was a nice feeling to remove packaging from the bundle of reclaimed Fir posts delivered last month.  Deck building has begun and I am heading out there this afternoon to take some pictures.  Watch for another post tomorrow!
