Fall Has Arrived

The days are sunny and bright the nights are cool and getting colder; fall has arrived. Yesterday it was -4*C when I got up today it was 1*C at 7 a.m. The days are shorter, and the air is crisp, a great time to be in the north country.

Saw this blue heron as I drove into town yesterday. You may need to click on the photo to enlarge it.

Can you see the hint of colour on some trees? A few more weeks and the colour up here will be at its best.

Construction is making good progress; workers return tomorrow and we should have all the walls completed in another week.

The window bucks sit out about 3 1/2  inches from the outside edge of the wall. This will allow for the vertical and horizontal strapping as well as the steel siding over the spray foam insulation. We should be toasty warm.

West wall not quite done.

Drop by in a day or so for more photos.
