Bring me sunshine

Apologies for the delay this week but, I forgot to take my iPhone out to the cabin on Sunday and there was one last photo I wanted to take before posting. I continued with my main effort of getting the wiring done this week and was interrupted to collect wood for the two small, bedroom, balconies for the top floor. I did the planning and estimating for these balconies the previous week and placed an order for the wood expecting that it would be at least a week, if not two, before it was ready. It was ready the next day. I got the wood from McDonald's mill, which is very near the Indian Band's mill on Highway 93 just this side of the border with the US. The Indian Band are not running their mill full time at the moment and often they sub-contract out orders to McDonald's anyway so, I thought I might as well go straight to the horse's mouth as it were.

Collecting the wood for the balconies wasn't the only distraction. The weather was so good on Monday that I decided to take advantage of the sunshine and stain the wood for the garage door trims.
It was so warm that I got two coats on everything before about 1400 hrs.

By the end of the week all the snow was gone.

The garage trim in place.

I also put some guttering on the front deck roof to take the water away from the front of the house.

The wood from McDonald's for the bedroom balconies - not the North Wing balcony, that will require a lot more.
 I managed to complete all the circuit wiring and now all that remains for me to do before I call for the inspector is to check everything and wire up the main panel.
