little bit o' snow on the hills.... steve isn't taking any chances, though, he is using any and all help in asking for a heavy snow year. He's taking up a dream catcher, quartz crystals & tobacco to perform a make it snow prayer in the way of the people who lived here long before any of us ( he'll use any help he can get, doing some other rites & prayers as well, equal opportunity)........ just as soon as we have a furnace.

Steve's two cents worth says that it's too soon to get excited about a little snow up high. Give it a month. Besides I still have outside painting to do, so I hope it warms just a little for a couple of weeks. So if any of you want to crawl around on an extension ladder 20 feet above the ground, give me a call. We only need 50 degrees and no rain.

not much different on the outside, but here it is anyway-

john started sheetrock last weekend, but it's too much for one person, so we're going to have someone come in & get it done so that we can get insulation in and the furnace installed- which will be important here soon.

looks like we have plenty of outlets, switches and overhead fixture options.



steve ran phone lines this weekend so that when the walls are sheetrocked we have them where we need them.


next up- sheetrock, insulation & a furnace- maybe a toilet too, so we can move inside & work as the weather gets colder. (and maybe camp out in the house for a ski expedition or two...... should be able to do that in a few months.
