It's October 10th, a day after Ruth's birthday and the day she returns from a well-deserved getaway with daughter, Allison, and granddaughter, Kate.
It's also the morning of first big snow for Ruth's Ridge and much of southern Manitoba. The garage roof at Niagara is blanketed in about 4" of the white stuff. What a mess. The temperatures are accordingly cool at a couple of degrees below freezing.
And Tuesday is move day.
And, with freezing temperatures now hitting the Lake of the Woods, we'll need to take a day to get up to the cottage to winterize it after an entire season of not having made use of it. One wonders how there will be enough hours to accomplish even the absolutely necessary.
As of yesterday afternoon, we have lock-up on the house, except that soffit and fascia need to be installed next week to effectively close up the house. Then, build stairs, get the electrical rough-in done, pray for a satisfactory inspection of the framing, plumbing rough-in and electrical (when Manitoba Hydro ends its first-ever strike), install insulation , vapour barrier and drywall.
And Davis is getting anxious to get started on a contract he was just awarded after months of maybe's.
Yep, it's time to stop blogging and get packing.
More sometime soon.
