This picture of Arika was on Thursday, we had a major down pour aslong with Hail!! We stayed pretty dry, but it got pretty cold, Here is a picture of Arika trying to keep warm!!
I'm hoping this post will make since. We have had some very long days. Not only physically but mentally as well. Okay here it goes. Our house is all framed in, The frame for our bed is up, and the frame for our benches are done! On the last post I made and posted a picture of the 4 post and asked you to guess what it was for! Thanks for guessing Stacey!! It is actually for my stove!! We made a cradle for our stove and Jim made it last semester. ( a barrel, cans, etc. It's on a previous post.
I'd link it but have no clue how to do that one!) So now I am working on claying it!! We literally are going to use a stove made out of a barrel, wood, and Clay!! The upright can is for my hot water, and the one on it's side is our oven! And the fire is on the little door on the front! It has taken a lot of time to make, and it has been pretty chilly up in The woods, so lets just say not an easy task! I hope to finish it today. Her are some pictures of my progress!!
And of the other things that are done!!Jim isn't here today to work on the house. The men went on a 3 day hike. Jim wasn't allowed to got because of his bad knee, but he is driving them there and then he'll be back this afternoon, and then he'll pick them up Wed. Afternoon! I praying for the other women as they don't have their husbands here to help them. Praise the Lord he has allowed Jim to be here for part of the time!
Arika is doing well, She loves playing up in Jungle Camp! She gets totally filthy! But does her best to entertain us and help us out!
It is starting to get pretty stressful since we move up on Sat. WE have to finish packing everything, and finish the house!! Totally crazy!!
Love you all.
Joy for the 3 of us!
