Other than around the door and the front windows, the garden house is closed in.

Pentoga Road

I was out bright and early this morning working on the rear of the garden house. It took less than an hour to finish the back before moving onto the east side.

Sargie and I took a quick jaunt over to Iron Mountain for a few items. It was a nice ride and we enjoyed ourselves.

Back home, I finished applying the OSB board under the peak on the east side.

Since the least amount of sun shines from the east, I didn't put a window on that side. Insulation will be added to it in the future.

It feels good to have the worst of the construction over. Other than the door and front windows, next will come the siding and trim. Those should require more finesse' rather than strength. Depending on when my final day as principal will be, I might actually be able to finish the garden house yet this fall.

 

I was able to move the pond pump into deeper water late this afternoon. Thankfully, a pair of hip waders were all that was needed to keep dry. I had to cut a pipe and move a fitting before relocating the pump. It took a bit of doing, but the pond should be ready for winter.

 

We left the empty trailer at Yooper Brother Mark's plant this evening. About four more loads of wood are needed to insure we have enough this winter for the house and the outside wood stove that heats the shop.

Sargie has an appointment Monday morning in Iron Mountain. I'll be back at Florence Elementary for what will hopefully be my last week as the principal of the Florence Elementary Bobkitties. 

With that said, it's time to climb those long, steep, stairs to bed.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
