progress, and a turtle hunter, going raw

Seth made his own costume for Medieval Day at school; he did a great job!

Sub floor...check!  This will be our real floor, I'll sand it, fill it, stain it and poly it like a gym floor.  Brian is dubious, but I think it will look great and save a bundle of moohla. 

Walls, yeah.  Building them in 16 foot sections with the sheathing and everything,then setting them up and nailing them down. 

Fish finds lots of things on our walks.  After having found three turtles I thought he was on to a fourth when he found this snake!  Yikes it scared the whatsits out of me.  Seth says it's a Northern Water Snake, harmless other than causing heart attacks!  not really

 

A fine turtle example.  Fish gently picks them up and carries them around.  

Yosef in the front door.  Shut the Front Door Yo!

Our basement,  the walls are really tall even with the concrete pour.  

Luna loves her ball. 

I love Luna's wrinkles!

Note from Luna: My mom feeds me raw meaty bones.  Mom asks "would you feed a horse fish?  Nope, then why give a dog grain, or potatoes, or chick peas?  There ain't not chicken in chick peas folks!  So if you are going to feed your carnivore meat, feed it real meat."  Right on Mom!

I like a juice chaser on occasion. 

Happy weekend!

Mud

This has been a slow week on the house.  The weather turned, well it turned spring-like and rained like the dickens.

The doorway of our basement!

This guy does not mind the rain.  I love how he's camouflaged.  

Our girl, Luna, following the sun on the squishy chair.  

Almost gone. 

Hoping for our concrete pour tomorrow so the basement door can go on, then we'll bring Fish home from boarding and save some moolah on that craziness.   We've built a kennel at the property but I want to be able to leave Fish in the basement if foul weather comes along; obviously we don't yet live at the property so he will be alone at night.
