August 22 to 24, 2015 Home Alone
I went up alone this weekend. Everyone else was either
too busy or uninterested. I am in love with the place
and so the irresistible attraction pulls me there alone
or with company. I spent a quiet weekend working on the
electricity in the cabin and opening windows in the wash
house for the bottle bricks. Time flew by. Although the
weather was perfect for a swim I found by the time I
left on Monday afternoon I had not had a chance to visit
the river.
Was excited to learn that the
Haiku Fan fit perfectly. I was able to wire it
temporarily and it worked as advertised. No surprise
this is the third one I bought and they are the most
energy efficient , most well made fans that exist on the
market. The temperature differential between the air at
the ceiling and the floor is remarkable. This should
help a lot to circulate the heat from our little wood
stove this winter.
I was able to get 4 windows cut out and framed for the
wash house but I need to do at least 4 to 6 more. No
time to put the bottle bricks in, perhaps next week. I
was very happy to have found a new valve for the 1000
litre tank we will use to gravity feed the toilet and
shower. Thank you
All
Tanks for your help! The roadwork continues but
after three loads of gravel I sprained my back a bit so
called it quits. However it is coming along great. There
are no wet spots and each week and after each load of
gravel it is getting a lot smoother.
I had a delicious aged steak on Sunday evening with
fresh lettuce and tomatoes from the garden. On Monday
morning I fried up what was left and served it with
fried egg and lightly sautéed cherry tomatoes. The
garden is coming along but the weeds are growing better.
One of Javier's Dahlias burst into bloom. The bees are
thriving. I did not disturb them Next week I will take a
peek to see if there is any honey in the super.
