Here we are, still in beautiful downtown Kadoka--or near there. We have water of our very own! Now, granted, it's a garden hose attached to a faucet in the basement and run up the stairs and out the back door--but it's OURS! Today, we're hoping the electrician comes to give the final okee dokee so the power company will give us ELECTRICITY! :D

Today is also supposed to be the day the chimney comes down and the hole gets covered up! And with luck, I'll take time to upload pictures.....

The Kadoka Adventure

It has been been brought to my attention that this blog is sadly out of date, due to my own negligence, soooooo.....

We are in the great State of SD, Week 2, working on the Shack. The trip out was fairly uneventful, except for the top my favorite outdoor table, which went sailing off down the road because some dummy laid it across the load to get to something else and forgot to put it back before we took off again.

So far, the kitchen has been leveled!!!














The electricity wiring has passed initial inspection. Part of the bedroom foundation has been removed, since it wasn't holding up the bedroom, and the little old cement chipper is chipping away at the offending mortar so he can put in another section of foundation that actually holds something up! :)





Yesterday, however, Keith and his buddy next door, built chainlink fence around our back lot. Off to Menards tomorrow for another 10' gate and a bunch of 20' posts for said fence.

Brother Jim has been trying to help, but just like me, can't work for Keith! Fetching and carrying seem to be what our major function is!














As for INSIDE? Not so much. The house keeps moving around, due to the big, old gopher who keeps working on the outside of the house! Mud a crack and the next day there's another one.... *sigh* Old houses!!! What insanity!

I'm snapping pics as we go, so there will be more, eventually....
