Frank set up his hunting blind on our first floor deck. The weather was miserable--cold and wet. Tuesday evening he took a shot at a doe.....and missed! That's not like him. Neither he or John had sited in their rifles, so it's our theory that it/they were not sited properly. John spent more time out than Frank did. He shot a doe from off the back porch, where it was dry, Wednesday afternoon. He got it, but not where he tried to. (More proof of not being sited in.) This was his first success in eight years of hunting.
Frank was able to put the shed where we want it.
Most of the week was cold, wet, and windy. We tried to work on the house, marking in where doors, windows, switches and outlets were to be placed. The cold and damp made it raw and not suitable to do any thing. We gave up on all but trying to keep water from going through the deck into the basement. Wednesday morning we decided to try tar paper. I tore the plastic off, and blew water off the deck. Frank went for the tar paper. Just as we started putting it on, it started to rain. We finished half of it, getting soaked and cold, but gave up after that. Friday our large tarps came. We planned to put them on Saturday. Frank awoke to snow on our back doorstep (by the radar.) He hurried out to spread the tarps. By the time I woke up and got out, the tarps were on, and so was some snow. I helped with weighting it down.
The next sunny time we have, we will try tying it down around the sides. We would also like to try to do the layout again.
Since the news is sparse, I thought I'd add this picture of our driveways. Notice the fancy "K".
