Today started out wet as it rained quite a bit over night. By mid morning it was nice and dry and the sun came out. We spent the day organizing things. We started by uncrating the windows and placing them in the garage for easy access when the builders get to that point.

| Behind this curtain....windows! |
Then we sorted all the 2X4 and 2X6 cedar into lengths and pulled out everything that will be used to trim the windows and made sure we knew where they went.

| Window trim - nice colour, eh? |

Then Len was busy cutting the rafters for the deck and needed to get at some 2X10's. Where were they? Under one of the stacks he and Tyler moved yesterday. So we used the old truck with the lift to move three pallets and get at the lumber we needed. I had Len take a picture to prove that, yes, indeed, I do some actual work some of the time. Just happens that most of the time I am working, so is Len, and no one is taking pictures.

| One board at a time is fine for me |
 |
| To be fair, Len carried half of these boards and ALL the really big ones |
We stopped for a quick bite to eat because Len was desperate to get back digging in the pit of despair. He got the septic drain put through the wall, the clean-out in place, and about 10 ft. of drainage pipe at the right slope out toward the septic field.

When it got dark, Len had to come in but hopes to finish the trench tomorrow. It is our last full day here this go-round so I know Len will want to make the most of it.
