Since it's Thursday and I just posted some great cabin progress photos, I figured I'd throw out a Throwback Thursday!! To the first tree fell, late November 2016. Ultimate dream is right.. this post uses

Decided to use the ole YouTube, DTube just wasn't going to let me upload. 😒 Jay, Dallas and I got the second timber rafter up, the first rafter was a lot of up and down, adjusting our cables and ties

So I have decided it makes more sense to have the tools/ tool shed closer to the decks where everything is normally worked on and it is way more level and dry over there too! The skids under the shed right

Well, its been a few days since my last post, I haven't been feeling so great. I just have too much on my plate and I am not hungry anymore! ;) Here is what I have been up to. This Japanese Bettle trap

Got camp cleaned up and head back home...I really hate this part.....I don't want to leave ever, I just wanna here stay forever 😢 Crossing the small flooded creek Jay and Dallas stuck 😂 Seen these cute

Well, yesterday it was cold and rainy so I had lit a few piles of wood and leaves I had raked/picked up within the last few days. While I was doing that Jay was getting the last of the leg posts, support

Jay mortising the hole for the leg post. All fits and measures great. Drilling some peg holes. Making pegs. Making some adjustments on the brace. One more done Getting the middle done.. The worksite. While

Its been a hot few days in the sun working on the cabin, lots of breaks and tons of water necessary! We have been working early mornings, relaxing during the hottest time in the afternoon and working again

Went out in the boat today fishing with the kids before they head back home, school isn’t out yet so they can’t stay, they should be back out here Friday after school. Fixed up the tent with the sewing

On the road Quads packed up and ready to go And we're off The kids went a different way than us and tipped the quad into the water, you can see how wet Sienna got. I am stuck! Jay stuck! Tree cutting,

Well, yesterday Jay was having some truck problems and asked me to come get him, 3 1/2hours away. So I got the trailer loaded on and made sure I had the chains, winch, tools, straps, pully, snatch block,

So one of Granny's friends gave her this old trailer/ice shack and one of the neighbors (Mika) at the campground offered to turn it into a sauna for her campsite. Mika was waiting for Jay to help him move

The kids and I went to the town to the north of us today and on our way back we stopped at Bakers Narrows to take a walk up the scenic tower. It has been pretty dry this spring and the fire danger is high.

Here is my entry for the #aswcontest (Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest), hosted by @customnature. This weeks theme, Vehicles. Around here there are plenty of amazing quad trails to explore now if you go down

Took the boys out to go dig up some spruce and jackpines. Since there were some smaller shrub junipers in that area I decided to grab a few of those too! Sienna helped plant them, we planted 10 jackpines,

Well, Jay went back to work again for two weeks. Our entire relationship he has worked 2 weeks in and 2 weeks out for the most part, sometimes it has been longer in and less out. It definitely doesn't

Jay and I went for a walk through a junkyard heaven! I did not know that this much stuff was there, this guy is actually our neighbor down the highway.lol This thing is pretty neat, its used to measure

Our water at the house is well water, I don't think it was drilled far enough down resulting in our water sometimes being very silty. So this evening Sienna and I went down to the lake to wash our hair,

This project has carried on over a few years. It was just the empty boxes for a year, then it had one mayyyybe two loads of dirt in one and the other empty for two years, last summer I dumped some manure

Had this all loaded up and ready to go for this morning, gravel, wheelbarrow, rocks for lining the garden and paths, manure and a few shovels. How it looked before we started. These next two pictures are
