Winter weather coming

 Pass reports are looking grim as is the forecast for subfreezing temps in the next few days.  We had a good day siding the laundry room and garage. Maybe we'll finish the south end of the garage before we pack up and get out of here.  Can't complain about our progress this year.  I had a vision that we would end the year with siding on house, garage and shop. Well, we've achieved that by only half, but that's better than having no siding on at all! The west side of the house and the shop will just have to wait until the spring.

Intermittent between nailing and caulking siding, and placing the geckos for the next piece of siding, I fed and monitored the fire we started early this morning to deal with all the leftover scraps of lumber.  It burned until well after 6:30P but was a nice time for us to sit and tend it until it became just glowing embers.  We talked about the progress we made this year and what's to follow next spring, and what would we be doing if we hadn't taken on this project two years ago.  

East garage siding nearly done; scrap wood fire on the left
