Headed Back to Canada...

Loaded up

& ready to hit the road in the morning.

...But the Nature of my Trip shall remain a Mystery ;-)

Good Morn.. uh, I mean, Afternoon !!

A few more days, and I'm headed back home.

I've been keeping an eye on things from a distance...

Everything is fine, but the house does look lonely.

After I get back home and settled in, I gotta hit the ground

running again. Winter is just around the corner.

Yippee!... Not :/

That does mean, a few things on the to do list have to be taken care of asap. For one, I need a back porch. I'll be honest though, as far as moving stuff in, boob height access has made things a little simpler. No steps to climb, just a willing helper on the inside grabbing things. I would like better access over the snowy months though. I won't fret over it if I don't have time to complete it before the white stuff comes in, but I'll give it a shot.

All I need back there is 4' x 4' with the steps going along the house. Someone with experience would have it done in a few hours I'm sure. I'll have to give myself a few days with my limited experience. I did build the front porch all by myself ~ grin. And I think it turned out pretty good. I still have to board up the sides to hide the framing, but that can wait. Here's a night time glimpse of it...

 

Not bad for a first attempt, eh ;-)

Good Morning...

~ Still enjoying my time away ~

Yes, there is a beach here, but no palm trees...

Out for a Little R & R Time

My Home is built, and I worked my ass off. 

Time for a getaway...

Actually, I left a little while ago. 

Weather is good, company is awesome,

and I finally got me some decent wifi. 

If you guys are interested,

here's a glimpse of My Homestead ;-)

~ Shop to the left, Home to the right ~

~ Amazing Nature all around ~

That's The Plan....

Just a few more days to go, then I head back home.  The clock is ticking, and I'm anxious, in a good way, to start building. I'll probably be scarce for a little while, but I will check in and post extra stuff too when I get an itch for it... ;-)

Ooops....

It's been really warm and sunny for a while now... ;-)

Just Chillin'

This Ain't No Canadian Maple

Just got back from a little nature walk.

I'm not holding it close to the camera, it's actually on my laptop. Freakin' thing is almost 12 inches from the tip to the end of the stem. Y'all have mutant trees out here ;-)

Bye Bye Great White North !!!

Woohoo !!!

Almost ready to hit the road...

But first, I feel like gloating a little...

This "contracting" business was new territory for me, 

but I did it, up to this point anyways.

Got all my ducks lined up and ready to go,

for a post-vacation build.

See you in a few days...

when I land, that is ;-)

~ Somewhere on this Earth ~

I got home last Tuesday night, just in time to give my daughter a Birthday hug. Hard to believe my little girl is 19 years old...

Packed & Loaded!

Guess I should go warm up the car....

Time to head out....

ETA: "igloo time" tomorrow ;-)

All Rested Up.....

Good Morning :)

Still enjoying my time away...

Been seeing a lot of these guys lately ;-)

I Spy With My Little Eye....

Greenbow's on the move... ;-)

Somebody's Hungry?

In honor of Bacon Day, actually it was just a coincidence, but a really tasty one....

I had the yummiest thick cut bacon ever yesterday...

Mostly because I didn't have to cook it myself ;-)

I did scramble some eggs, and toasted up my home made sweet bread to eat with it.

~ Yummy!!!!! ~

Nap Time...

After 16 hours of driving.... I'm entitled... :P

Gearing Up for a Road Trip...

Seriously.... ;-)

Belated Turkey Day!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving :-)

I went on a little road trip with my daughter yesterday.

You could call it a scavenger hunt I guess....

~ No Rest For The Wicked ~

I started this post last night, then set it aside 'till today.

Because simply put... I'm fucking pooped!!!

I just dove 16 hours straight getting back to my daughter and our igloo.

39 hours without sleep... I need another nap :P

Give it to me :P

Well, the moon did shine real bright last night.....
