Saturday, October 8 – after work we drove as far as Butte.
Cold!! Glad we were in a hotel –
even a “did we really pay all that for
this?!” type of hotel.
Sunday, October 9 – we arrived at the cabin around 10 and
immediately started to work. Since we
forgot to get gasoline for the generator the night before, Ron rode his ATV
into cascade for gas while I set up the kitchen and started painting the trim pieces
- 54 degrees – I painted with a small propane heater we had borrowed from
friends. When Ron returned with gas for the generator, We started enclosing the roof
ends.

Monday, October 10 – our bed is toast and so is our tea
pot. Holes in both – 40 degrees when we
woke. And it didn’t warm up much all
day. We finished enclosing the roof ends
which stopped the wind from whistling through!
Happy day, but still that tiny heater did not warm us. The smell of the pines was intoxicating.
Tuesday, October 11 – with the cabin enclosed we “awoke”? (up
three times in the night to put air in the bed – did we sleep at all?) to a toasty 48
degrees. We put up several pieces of
finish trim, packed up and headed back to Poky around 3:00.

| Grandpaw, I think there is a pea under this bed! |

| An indoor Loo! The price of this cabin just shot up!! |
Since returning to
Poky we have had numerous calls from Home Depot wanting to know when we were
going to be able to come in and pick up the rest of our insulation. They really did not have to room to store it
for us. REALLY?!
Anxiously awaiting spring –
How will Paradise fair the Montana winter??
How will we fair the Idaho Winter
without respite in Paradise?
Did you really bring the loo into the house? Is that where it permenately stays? I hope you just did that for winter purposes.....
