This
past week and a half has been all about firewood and screenings. During
the day, Tony’s dad has been bringing up load after load of screenings (a type
of fine round gravel), which Tony has been spreading out getting the main floor
of the house prepped for our concrete radiant floor. This will be the gravel base, then we’ll put
in a vapor barrier, lay all the rebar and heating pipes...then we will finally
get to poor the concrete floor! I cannot
wait until we are done with this screening phase; those little rocks get stuck
on all the shoes and track everywhere!.jpg) |

When
the guys aren’t dumping and spreading screenings around, they’re up cutting, hauling
and splitting firewood. We’re running
quite behind this year on our firewood supply for winter, so Tony has been trying
to make up for lost time. We’ve been
trying to get all this done before the snow comes...which is in the forecast
for tonight and the rest of this week.
