We finished the path up to the site, and none too soon. The rain returned with a vengeance last night as we went to sleep and has persisted until this afternoon with no sign of letting up. The poison ivy saga continues as yet unabated, but the Prednisone should make a difference in the next day or two. Until then, I look like a leper. Everyone at church came up and said, "Well, it looks like you got into it." Though the digging of the path is done, it won't really be finished until we get some gravel or something on it to make it walkable in the rain. Right now, the scalped portions are a muddy mess. Fall leaves will also make an improvement, but it will be a while before we see these.
Tomorrow we will hopefully have a reasonable footing base for the shed and begin framing it the next day. Pastor Kevin of the Church of the Nazarene is treating us to the Cracker Barrel tomorrow night and we may have some new accommodations thanks to Theresa, our neighbor who has offered her guest house. It's 60 deg. and rainy. Even the mosquitoes and ticks are in hiding, but the toads are out in force. We got the generator hooked up to a smaller inverter by way of the generator battery. I'm glad we went with the pure sine wave inverter because when Dan plugged in his hair clippers to the gen and the inverter, the difference in performance was huge. I can only imagine what the gen would do to sensitive electronics. The inverter performed very well, though. At some point we'll try the mobile wifi hot spot, but for now we are waiting until at least the shed is done. Until then, we have power for small and large tools and possibly a dry place to sleep. Hallelujah! Amen!
