Lots of work, and I have to run the chainsaw and lift the heavy stuff, but he and his brother are doing the lions share.

I have a scribe that is not for logs, but is more of a compass that we are making work... sorta. It is in our back yard against the mountain. He wants to move in when it is done. It will have 2 windows, a door, a loft for a bed and a small stove of some sort. We are going to make the door of rough-cut lumber as well. “I am in love with Montana.

Will you be chinking it? We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Great video. Liberalism is a mental disorder that leads to social disease.

He reads a lot, so I will look into getting the the book as well. We are going to go broke chinking this thing! No end to the work to get it done right. I hope to get the walls up in the next couple of weeks, but work, school, hunting, etc are getting in the way. I will post an update when significant progress is made. We had to shoot steel silhouettes with 22's last night (in the yard), so no work got done on the cabin! Lots of fun! All 3 of my kids make being a dad a lot of fun! “I am in love with Montana.
