First of October or as I like to call it “clean up the property” month. Finally able to get rid of the mess we accrued during the summer cabin build. I was up at the burn pile by 8 am and didn’t finish until 4 pm. Admittedly, it was nothing like the mess we accrued during the house reno but still it was unsightly. It’s all gone now. Very satisfying. I should be able to keep up with any mess we make from now on which makes me very happy. It was a perfect day for a burn pile with no wind and rain predicted for tomorrow night.

I’m hoping to get the mulch down in the flower portion of the garden tomorrow. The perennials still need pruning and the garden needs to be put to bed for the winter. Hopefully, if I start early enough it will be done before the rain..

E has finished the interior walls of the cabin now and the electrical. Today, he put the flooring down in the bathroom so he could install the sink and toilet. Plumbing is all ready to go in. It will take a few days but then we should have doors, lights and plumbing.

The clock is ticking. We have ten days to get the cabin habitable for the family’s arrival for Thanksgiving.

Fingers crossed everyone
