Carlo and Rick removed a log from the kitchen ceiling / loft floor to shorten it and move it over a few inches in order for the loft stairs to fit between the logs. After cutting the log and replacing it – perfect fit I might add – there was lots of measuring and re-measuring; only to find that we ordered the wrong size stairs. So we boxed them back up! They got the futon and mattress into the loft and we all got ready to go. Rick and Katie packed up and met us at Portage Lumber to return .jpg)
the stairs. We went to Portage Family Restaurant before they headed back to Lockport.We decided to retrieve our flower box that floated two properties away. It came right off the log and it is ready for its new home on the deck of the outhouse. Carlo decided to drive back through the easement. I’ll leave out everything I was thinking and saying but will tell you I didn’t like the idea. Now you see, the ground is still mushy, parts still have water and there are lots of mosquitoes. We barely make it to our property line and we are sinking and then we get stuck. Thank goodness we own a tow strap. Carlo wrapped it around a tree and although it was laborious and I feared the tree would fall – he was able to crank the truck a good 2 to 3 feet. He then put branches in front of and behind the tires in an effort for the tires to grab something – back and forth and yes deeper and deeper. Then as it would be, he was finally able to grab some dryer ground and get back further in the easement on a dryer patch of ground. The tire ruts were at least 10” deep. Once Carlo was able to get the truck going, he kept moving until he got to the cabin. The tires were caked with mud. What a day!
