This is a picture showing how the walls are being prepared for straw-bale.

An easy answer: I don’t regret purchasing property on the North Bruce Peninsula… on the East side!

If I wanted fantastic sunsets, the west coast of the peninsula cannot be beat. That shore is Lake Huron and one gets all the atmospheric effects (including squalls, rain-spouts, blisteringly-cold prevailing winter winds). Unlike the west coast, our property isn’t located on sand and muskeg. We live on rock. A lot of it. The east side has striking bluffs overlooking Georgian Bay, grottos, karsks, and caves. Oh limestone… it is a mere 0.5-1 metre below the soil. That makes striking potable water tricky where we live (when you meet us F2F, ask us about the hit-or-miss situation of well drilling [and our reclamation efforts]).

Some evenings, after shlepping boxes back and forth, my overtaxed brain desires similar items!
Demolition is fun!
Cleaning ones toes is necessary.
Surprise snow squalls are less enjoyable (to the unprepared [like me]).

Update: 07:45. Well, f**k. The SNOWKAT’s electrical system is freaking out. Powered windows failed open. On the freeway. After snarling at each other, we had enough good sense to pull over. Nobody’s purse flew out the window. Had to do a Windows 95 stunt… stop the Tacoma, turn ‘er off. Wait. Restart. Resumed proper operation. WTF. 😳

Chickens are omnivores. Insects? Small mammals or reptiles? if they can run it down, they tear it apart!
This morning. I like the terrain!
