Since I am severely distracted with the new prospect of progress, the photo above is my main blog contribution for today. This view is one of the many reasons we have chosen to hang on even when things seem to get discouraging. Something like this always comes along to remind of us of why we are here. How often can you see both ends of a rainbow within your backyard? I haven't looked for the pot of gold at the ends yet but rumors abound about Spanish gold being lost in these parts. The legends have their loyal and determined following.

Today was a great day for progress. The skies were clear and the sun brought the temperatures up to comfortable working conditions. We did an experimental foray into stripping off about fifteen feet of the rat trailer's original aluminum siding. It was encouraging! Mark was able to cut panels of Styrofoam to fit snugly in between the stud centers and the pre-formed flashing he brought home yesterday will accommodate the new siding panels that mimic weathered barnboard. Looks like a go for tomorrow to finish off the experiment. What the success of this project will mean is that we can start planning for an enclosed porch built out from it which will house the water tank and shelter the well. And that means that indoor plumbing is that much closer!
