The Campfire Trail: November 2 - DIY Homestead

November 2, 2022

Day 397 of the Adventure

Shelley started the day today with the declaration "Let's get busy. I love deck building!" I'm not so sure if it's that she loves the building of them or the sitting on them once their done. Either way, as mentioned yesterday, we do need to get with it on the deck construction. It will be a 10 foot by 16 foot deck stretching all the way across the full width of the back of the cabin. Besides making it much, much easier to finish up the siding work on the back, yes..... it will give us a pleasant place to sit, sip coffee and watch the woods. I will display no remorse or guilt at all with addition of a deck even while so many other things still need completed around here.
