Slowly but surely

Thought I lucked out and had wood for the deck. Guy emailed us that he had 8 ft long 2X6s. Drive 25 miles only to find they are only 6 ft. Hmmmmm sound familiar! Anyway, so happy to have found my shower as I thought it would be the most difficult. Next major step is having the electricity hooked up. If we don't do this we will have heat strokes. It was well over 100 today and is suppose to stay that way for the rest of the week. Not much progress will happen in this heat wave. On the bright side-grass doesn't grow when it is this hot!

I still have to figure out what in the heck I am going to do about flooring. I am thinking we will put peel and stick tiles in the bathroom and for now leave the carpet in the cabin. Later we can deal with ripping it up.

We are awaiting help to build a few walls-challenge is that we need openings for doors-oh no that means we really have to measure and be exact. Well maybe not-isn't that why they make shims??

Ken is getting off lucky. He thought electric company would not run power to house but about 25 feet away. Which mean he had one long ditch to dig in this heat. To his surprise the guy from the company called today and said no problem we can take it to the house. Power+air conditioning=progress. Soon little grasshopper-patience.
