Another weekend that was nice and warm and sunny, so we decided to stay outside and continue removing siding.
We moved around back to tackle the rest of the addition. It ends up going rather quickly, especially when the rotten wood doesn't hold the nails.
Isn't it nice when the wall comes off with the siding? Yay, two birds with one stone!
This photo is for anyone who asks why we're not saving the building. We could see under the floor between the floor joists. It looks pretty clean under there thankfully. No bodies!
We finished the siding on the addition, but left some up after we realized there were gaping holes in the wall. We don't want to be sharing the space with raccoons.
Siding done.
We left the tar paper up where possible... maybe to protect the precious rotten wood?
While cutting the lawn we found a snake.
He was posing for us.
Our newly planted trees were looking a little dry. There has been no help from mother nature for a while.
In the evening we went for a walk. Found another piece of property being developed. They are very early on, just clearing roads and sites for cabins.
One of the neighbours has a cool little spot on a bay near ours and built a dock out to a granite island about 25 feet from shore. They made a bridge across the gap so that they don't have to take out the dock every year. Great idea!
We woke up early, to see the morning sun on the lake...
...and to find a squatter in our house.
Guess who gets to remove it? Better work on that phobia!
As I carried it out of the house it started going crazy when it saw the sun and felt the heat.
Nightmares for weeks!
