A BUSY WEEKEND

Lots of good weather led to lots of good work getting done. So, I'll dive right in...

EVAN'S FLOOR

A lot of progress here, as you can see. I worked on it when I could yesterday and today, only stopping to allow a beautiful and sweet girlfriend Katie sleep works midnights. 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

I LOVE YOU SWEETNESS!

Installing real hardwood flooring is difficult and time-consuming. Adding to the difficulty was the fact that it was used and it still had screws and glue in it that I had to remove. That being said it's the most beautiful free floor I've ever owned in my life!!🥰😍

WORK ON OUR SOLAR SYSTEM🌌...🤣

So not the solar system like everybody looks at in the sky. But the solar system that we have at the cabin that brings us electricity. I was able to get two more panels hooked up they are not mounted in hardware yet but they are capturing the suns power and turn it into electricity for us. It equates to a 25% increase over what we had.

*I'm hoping to have the brackets and framing built this week.

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT...

I also love a couple small Silver Maple trees that were partially blocking the panels...about 25% of them throughout the day.

So, as much as I didn't want to, I fell the both of them and started getting them turned into firewood.

In the photo above you can see how close they were to the panels...and on the sunny side as well...you can also see Katie, staring in amazement at my magnificent work.😁

OVERWORKING THE TRUCK

Also this weekend the left rear spring broke. So I pryed it out and am hoping to replace it soon. But the truck still does real well with out it.

She's a beautiful green 1998 Ford Ranger with about 300,000 miles on her. 😁She's a great dependable truck for us so far.
