COOL FACT: Snails can sleep for 3 years

Interesting thought: I might be part snail!

We were up by 8:00 am and I was looking forward to cooking and enjoying breakfast.

Although this trip had "no list" attached to it...relaxing was over when Carlo was on his way to get insulation for the crawl space walls. 22 x 15 x 5.

While he was gone, I listened to the sounds of nature and even got a glimpse of all the denizens getting ready for the upcoming end of summer. A squirrel knocked acorns and pine cones from the tops of the trees, the birds cleaned out the feeders, the red squirrel emptied another feeder and the turkeys helped themselves to the seed covered ground; all the while the woodpeckers pecked at the trees! And another squirrel took the time to stare me down as if to say FYI.

We worked under the cabin until after 6:00 pm, stopping for lunch and for another run for more adhesive. We were barely able to walk or even stand up straight by the time we were done. I cleaned up the mess and tools and supplies while Carlo finished putting the insulation on the water lines and finish taping the seams. I think we did a great job considering all the cutting and piecing we had to do - we only wish we would have done this BEFORE the plumbers were here! We still have to put pieces along the bottom and I forgot a piece in the corner, but we'll save that for another day!

After our showers, we started grilling brats and corn.

We had dinner at 8:30 pm and thought the time was not a problem we were battling over whose muscles were the sorest - it was a tie!
