Change of Plans

Trip to NB will be delayed.
Rodney has some good paying jobs that need to be done asap.
Make hay while the sun shines and all that.
Haven't set a new departure date yet.

Haflingers Spotted

Discovered these Haflingers just outside Brantford.
Took one pic and camera batteries died. :(
Gave a little "click-click" call
and they all came trotting over to see me.

Such beautiful creatures...

The Cabin Formerly Known as Shed

Started the day by discovering a woodstove for sale on Kijiji.
Guy from Guelph wanted $50 obo for it.
I drove over and gave him $50, didn't bother dickering.

Sketching out a dormer...

Cutting pieces for the roof...

Starting the truss...

Alas! the fading light forced us to suspend work...

---

Amidst the toil there was time to pause
and enjoy the beauty of God's Green Earth...

...and to visit with friends...

Sept12-Shed/Cabin

Elmira lumberyard...

Lumber..old and new...

While we built, Sawyer and Emmanuel were busy taking garden waste to the compost pile...

Starting the floor...

Decided we needed some cement blocks to level and support floor so we headed through the fields to the salvage company's area.

On the way we ran into the Weber's clearing old abandoned metal equipment from the back fields.

Scrounging cement blocks...

Sam goes for a dip...

Mount Scrapwood...

Framing the floor...

We lay the plywood floor and raise the back wall...

Add an end wall...

Up goes the front wall...

We decided to stop at this point and continue tomorrow.

Kathy sent up some jumbo hot dogs for us.
I found the relish made from green tomato interesting.

Everyone was astounded and impressed to see Annabelle sit
and lift a hoof for a piece of hot dog.

I wondered if there was pork in the hot dogs
and if I would have to start calling her Cannabelle!
