Last weekend's CABIN UPDATE! Part I

Last weekend Earl and I went out to the cabin to help Charlie and Brian with the stair and loft railings. Earl is fabricating the metal portion of the project.

Here is an update of the cabin ceiling - it is just beautiful!

Another great shot of the ceiling, as well as, the installed posts and rails for the stairs...the 4x4 post were cut from extra log pieces left from the cabin and the main post at the bottom of the stairs was from extra beam...

Here's a shot of Porter out in front of the cabin...he was really hoping that Shaggy would come down and play...no luck!

See Part II and III for more photos from the weekend, we all really moved and got a lot finished! Soon the loft and stairs will be finished! We really had a great time working on the cabin and it is so awesome to see such progress every time we come out!

Enjoy!

Last weekend's CABIN UPDATE! Part II

Earl welding up the stair railing

Yes, Earl is welding inside the cabin...one of us was on spark duty at all times.

Porter sneaking a nap on the airbed...naughty boy...I let him sleep, he was a tired boy!

It is funny how we find him curled up where he shouldn't be when we are at the cabin...about this time last year he was curled up in Earl's duffle bag!

Last weekend's CABIN UPDATE! Part III

Stair railing is finished and installed

Half of the loft railing is fitted...

The view from the loft down the stairs looks great!

Porter tried to be a good helper...his tail is dangerous sometimes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I know...Porter looks a little worried to be a little devil for Halloween...I told him he was a cute devil and he didn't think it was totally bad to be dressed up.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I hope everyone has a great time and is safe this Halloween,

LOVE,
Dawn, Earl and Porter

Fall Harvest!

Okay so the first photo is just of Porter, he was modeling his new bandana in honor of the Griz away game against Portland State University

Now here is a photo of our Fall Harvest...I already canned the banana peppers and jalapeno peppers - separate and mixed, our pumpkins and our onions...Porter modeled with our harvest, as well!

Our garden is pretty much finished...the frost has really been hitting us hard this past week but that is okay, we have gotten a ton of veggies from our garden this year - can't wait for next year and maybe a try at a few new items!

PS The Griz bandana has a few tears in it now...Porter got a bit carried away when trying to take his bandana off while he was in his "house" when we were away...a little anxiety maybe...?

Griz game...Idaho State vs. Montana

This weekend was the Idaho State vs Montana Grizzlies game...here are few pictures from our great win! GO GRIZ...oh and GO SPARTANS (nice win over Michigan!!!)!!!

Earl and I after the game down on the field - it was Breast Cancer Awareness Game - I got to wear my pink Griz shirt and got this super cute free hat!
Charlie and Bev - sisters together at the game! It was fun being at the game with you Bev!!!

One of the biggest Griz fans, and our friend, down on the Montana Grizzlies' center field, Diane, along with Charlie and Brian.
