It's July! I am looking forward to red this month. Something vibrant seems just right. We are at the cabin this week doing lots of manual labor. There has been wood cutting, rock hauling and assorted chores keeping us all busy. Kurt installed a new window successfully. We got an estimate from a contractor and decided that was a project we could definitely try to do on our own. The first attempt went well enough that I think we will just slowly work our way through the worst ones.
We did get a dumpster delivered and have almost filled it in two days with the collected debris that has been collecting on the property for at least the last three decades. It is red in honor of the color for July! We were successful yesterday in using the UTV to winch a washing machine up the side of the ravine. It was quite exciting! There were several pieces of a target practice deer form that got tossed in and the head ended up poking up at us over the edge of the dumpster. His one remaining eye is following at us as we roam around the property. There was lots of hand sewing of hexies that got accomplished in the car, but sadly, no photos. I brought up a machine though, so a sewing space is on the list of projects. It is a long list, but we are making good progress!
Hooray for the DIY projects that go well! Wishing you an enjoyable weekend with lots more success!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week at the cabin, Angela!
ReplyDeleteOh to be young and full of energy! Come to think of it, I'm not sure we had that much energy 20 years ago! Lol! How great that you could manage a RED dumpster for July. I think I'd knock that deer head over somehow to get out from under its watchful eye. Have a great week and I hope that sewing space is the next thing on your priority list. Maybe some rain will head your way and that will be the perfect excuse to stay indoors to make that space happen!
ReplyDeleteSew exciting to be making your new cabin your own! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThat deer in the dumpster made me laugh out loud! Good luck with the work, you're really making progress. And thanks for the RSC every week!
ReplyDeleteYour adventures at the cabin are always so interesting, even if they are “just” loads of cleanup. I hope you get plenty of sewing in!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a busy but rewarding time ahead. It will all be worth it. To ha a place to retreat to. To recoup, regenerate and renew! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove to read about your progress at the cabin! So glad that a sewing space for you is added to the list! 😉 I see you’re celebrating the new color of the month with a bright red dumpster! 😆
