The 3rd year on the homestead, from October '23 to October '24. Most of the outside work on the first cabin is done and I am focussing on the work inside. The goal is to pack the tent and be inside before snowfall. The first night I spend on a few floorboards that are just installed. It's a heavy winter but working inside makes things easy. Some extra heavy snow falls in March, and even in April when the trees are already green. In summer the work outside starts. I'm building a greenhouse where the tent was before and make a start with the work shop and the second cabin.
