Rejoice for joists!


The floor joists are done! The wet made them a bit warp-ish and we were worried at how they might turn out, but now that they are all lined up and toe-nailed down, they look fine. Tomorrow we start laying the first floor!

It's been the coldest, wettest June I can remember, and our little camp is clammy and chilly. We got a little propane heater to take off the worst of the chill, and as long as we keep a few windows cracked, it seems to work fine. We are grateful to be living here, and are still enjoying our adventure!

The visits have begun- yesterday we had a visit from Michael and Jan from Westmoreland, who are considering building a First Day Cottage. We were happy to be able to tell them our positive experiences, and to show them around. The most important information we gave them was that John and David at First Day are totally above board, communicate well, and are extremely helpful!

This Wednesday we look forward to a visit from our good friend Sioux from the Hudson River Valley of NY; at the end of the month, Hunt's sister Deborah will arrive from California. We have a pop-up camper and four tents, so come along and join the fun!
