August 26-29, 2011 Work Weekend

Mary and I went to the cabin for a good old-fashioned work weekend. Had not done one of those for a while and we enjoy projects. Now, all our muscles are sore but that goes with the territory I guess. We transformed the porch into what we're now calling the sunroom. The pictures illustrate what we're doing: painting the walls, installing subfloor and ceramic tile, and finishing the window jambs. We'll eventually move the adirondack chairs and a log-slab table into the new room.

Mary did a good job of touching up the brown paint on the cedar-sided basement walls. Black berries were in abundance and we picked a lot of them, and I was glad to still be able to pick a handful or two of blue berries.
