Mission accomplished

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Photo shows the ForkenSwift nestled inside its cocoon... I mean inside the heated & insulated side of the shack, accomplished on the weekend:



I've already done a couple of little repairs to it that have been on my list for a few weeks. In warm... dry ... comfort.

It's fantastic to have wrested control of my projects from the whims of the weather gods. Weather gods, my emoticon sticks out its tongue at you! Ecomodding is no longer a seasonal activity!

Of course, there remains much, much more work to be done to the building itself. But at least now I can sprinkle some vehicular tinkering among the shack-related chores.
