Well the weather was with us, and we had our supplies ready to go. So when Friday rolled around we headed back to finish the building of the outhouse. What we weren’t counting on was the sheer volume of black-flies and their hunger for human flesh.
These things were just plain awful, attacking in numbers to high to count. Whenever you’d stop to hold a piece of wood, or attempted to screw two pieces together they were all over you. Needless to say while up shingling the roof I was a sitting duck. By the end of the day Saturday my arms were covered in bites. My ears were swollen and bright red causing them to stick out, not unlike the Mad magazine “What me worry” guy.
Despite it all we did get somethings accomplished, but did not manage to complete the project. We got the roof on, the door hung, solar light installed, trim and screened vents in place. We started work on the bench, but had to pack it in when the rain started on Sunday.
Till next weekend…
See all the posts, from start to finish.
