Wood Shed Rafters Harvested

On February 14 we headed over to our other lot which has a couple hundred young pine trees growing on it to select and cut down a few for making our wood shed rafters.  We located seven Virgina pine that were minimally 12 feet and about 3-4" diameter.



Peeled and ready to for the roof installation

Camp Out

We camped out for the first time since we bought the property this past weekend.  It was quite cool overnight dropping to about 32 F.  Lots of fleece and warm dogs to keep us warm.

We added a thick layer of chips for the tent site



Camp set-up




Can you espy the American Woodcock?

Night was cold but we hit 68F on Sunday...

5 W solar panel in foreground charges a small battery to run 2 x 2W lights for the camp site for about 6 hrs.

Can you tell what was added to the pole barn since last blog post? (hint: white)
