YEAHHHHH!!! I was able to get a post hole digger on Wed.!!! To some, it might seem odd to be excited about a post hole digger; but, it meant that I was able to finish getting the dirt and clay out of the bottom of the hole for the future out-house - without getting stuck - head first - down in a hole that's "interesting" getting out of "right side up" (and, I'm 5'9"...) Imagine having to use a sick room toilet chair out under the trees in the dead of winter; and, you'll better understand why I'm so thrilled to have been able to get a post hole digger...

Right now, propane is a really high priority; and, I think I have everything covered for finishing up the micro this month. Mainly, I'm waiting on Kenneth to get more insulation shavings; so, I can finish up the roof; and, to finish packing the walls.

I'm trying to stay focused on the roof, the water line, and the out-house. A friend of mine is going to watch for a post hole digger or handle at an auction he's planning to go to Thurs. night.

Once I have those out of the way, my attention needs to turn to trying to put together an 8'x8' over by the pole. I was able to scavenge a small electric water heater that I HOPE doesn't leak. (I had to dump some water out of it to be able to get it onto the car; so, here's hoping that all it needs is a thermostat or an element. As heavy as it was for its size, it MIGHT just need a good cleaning out...)

After I finish the water line to the micro, I'll have a cut-off valve on it; and, I'll be able to start running a line off of it over to a spot near the power pole. At that point, I can try to set up the 8'x8' and get back to getting a bath when I need it. I'm hoping to have the micro's water line finished Sat. or Sun. I'm short one cut-off valve, a 45 degree fitting, and a straight connector; but, I plan to get those on Fri., when it's raining. While at Lowe's, maybe I'll be able to snag some cull OSB, as well.
