New Features

July 13, 2008 - I went home last night to discover all the cool stuff that Joe had done while I was gone. First of all, we have a kitchen! The sink came from our old house and he found this neat little stove and oven at a yardsale yesterday morning.

Then, he added a motion sensor spotlight and floodlight to light the walkway up to the campsite.

And here's him working on the electricity, which he is now an expert on.

So this morning I decided to use this new kitchen of ours to make eggs, hooray!

Although I guess I wasn't fully prepared, because I hadn't taken out any papertowels or dishtowels or anything to wipe my hands with. This is still a work in progress, as you can see. (Also notice my rubber boots - this is standard attire for me in the evenings and mornings so that no snakes or other creepy crawly things can crawl over my feet or up my pants - key to my happiness in the woods).

Then we got to work. I spent the morning clearing a spot in the woods for campfires. We're totally excited to have people over, cook a campfire dinner, roast marshmallows, play music, and tell stories. So after I cleared a spot, Joe built a stool out of an old tree stump and I built a fire ring.

And then we had some fun with the camera.

Wanna come over for a campfire?

Then, since I haven't shown you before - here's our port-a-potty, which is working quite well.

And our refrigerator, which is currently on what used to be the deck by the house.

We haven't managed to move it up to the campsite yet, since we need a few extra hands for that. But yes, it has food in it right where it is. Corona?
