I understand, though, When you're working outside and then you stop, getting started again is kind of tough. The hardest part of a winter day working on my feet in the woods was the first 5 minutes after taking a halfhour lunch break sitting in a truck with a heater on.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-46017609253907566782014-12-11T18:07:27.013-05:002014-12-11T18:07:27.013-05:00I agree...I find snow easier to deal with than fre...I agree...I find snow easier to deal with than freezing rain. Up to a point, anyway. I think the point is somewhere below my knees. ;)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-13653412390398338482014-12-11T09:18:40.598-05:002014-12-11T09:18:40.598-05:00A lovely day indeed!

Assistants are great and take the pressure off of you to offer any help. Now I can just picture that sliding door with a cute little deck in front with a nice comfy Adirondack chair with a cushion and a cup of tea on the wide arm. Of course a thick mat for Piper. It's coming along nicely, I can hear the relief in this post. Why not invite the goats up to the construction site for a bit of mental stimulation for them ;) We had about 6 inches of snow last night, nice & fluffy. I hope today goes just as well for you!

I never have - they show up when they please, and that's not very often - so a simple project takes 5X longer than it should. I think that the first day in the freezing rain told you something about these guys' characters. And, I think that snow is nicer than freezing rain. I used to live in your neck of the woods, and I was glad to leave freezing rain behind when I moved here!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.com
