Hi from rather WARM Alabama!!

Hi from a quite warm Alabama. It has been pretty warm for the  past several weeks. The daily temps have been low to mid 90's. Which is not all that bad until you figure in the humidity here. This is why I have never gotten it used to summers here after several years out West. West Texas, New Mexico...even 3 years in Alaska, all those areas are low humidity compared to here. So humidity figured in, the "feels like" (Heat Index) for us it has been averaging 100-105 degrees for the past coule of weeks.

Enough about the weather! A bit of news about the cabin. It is built and I'm slowly making progress on the things necessary to be able to move in. Have gotten a little caulking done. If the rains allow, tomorrow should be able to get one window installed and the air conditioner mounted. 

 If we do succeed in getting the a/c setup....I'm just liable to put my camp chair with stool in there, throw Rosie's bed on the floor....and sleep in there. Give it a test drive!!  LOL!

The main thing I accomplished today was to get the "screen door" installed. Don't remember if I mentioned that I am not putting in a "normal" front door right now. Main reasons...pennies getting tight and try to find a 5' front door! LOL! So the left sliding door is blocked off and will use the right door for the time being. 

 Once I figured out where to mount it (you can tell from the black gorilla tape) it took me a while to decide the way to mount it. Because it is not a normal door frame to work with, two handles that stick out somewhat, it was a rather trial and error process to get the sreen halves to come together and match up and hook up to almost totally correctly.

Once I got that figured out I then had to decide where to cut the bottom off. The door height is 50", the screen height is about 70". And I am not too proud to tell you that if I put 2 dots on a sheet of paper, draw a straigt line with a ruler between them....I will still not cut a straight line!! Soooo the cut is not pretty but it hits right except for one spot, but still goes to the threshold and closes the space very well. The screen was just $9, so in a few months, if needed, I'll get another. But this time I'll know exactly how long to cut it!

 This pretty well brings the situation here up to date. So keep thinking good thoughts that we'll be able to get the window and a/c unit installed tomorrow. I will be a very happy camper if that does come to fruition!!

Make sure you stay in a preparedness state of mind for the coming days, weeks, months. I hope we get thru all the global issues that are brewing all around the globe without getting hammered with any not so good things. But just in case, keep your vehicle toppd off, put back supplies to take care of the family if things do go sideways and we're not able to run to the store when we want or when we do go, the shelves could be sparce. Just stay prepared!

Until next update....Be Safe, Travel Easy, Go to the Woods if possible and Keep living in a Preparedness Mode!!
