Sorry for the lack of updates

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. We don't have any internet at the house. I send these updates from Catherine's parents house. We finally got the solar panels hooked up and with a running fridge, Catherine and I have been spending most of our time at the home. You should see her when we are at the house...she beams with happiness.

We set up a couple of beds upstairs for visitors.

It is getting homier.

One of my many projects is trying to get a phone. I only have another 300ft to trench the bell line to get to the road.



A couple of weeks the panels were connected together and connected to the house.


Two weekends ago Tim and his buddy Brian came up for the weekend. They had lots of their own projects. The tied a rocket to this car and launched it down the street. The first attempt ended with a grass fire. The second attempt went into the trees. But the third one was perfect....right down the centre of the road.

A nice dinner together. This was Jan's last good dinner before his surgery.


At night, Tim and Brian launched their potatoe canon. The potatoes go very far.


Carol having a good laugh.


This past weekend Tracy and her boyfriend Peter came to the house.


They collected a bunch of rocks to see how they looked for behind our woodstove (not yet installed) Peter is washing the rocks by the well.


On Monday our water was hooked up. Yea!!!! We now have a toilet that fills itself. Amazing!


This is a poor picture of the screen on our power inverter for the solar power. At this moment 16.8 amps of power was being fed to the house. Cool.........


Another beautiful sunset.


Catherine really enjoys her time at the house. I had a walker for her but she only used it for about a week. She spends all her time in bed now. We have a hospital bed at our house now. I haven't been able to get much done on the house as it is a fair bit of work looking after her, but that's OK. I don't mind at all. I love her company. Last Wednesday I took her to the hospital because she was having a hard time breathing. Apparently the cancer creates fluid and this fluid formed around her lungs and collapsed her left lung. They stuck a needle in her back and drained 1 1/2 litres of water out of her. She felt much better the next day. But then she started having troubles breathing again. I took her to the hospital on Tuesday and they admitted her. They drained another litre of fluid. She is currently in the hospital. She is very skinny now( I thanked her for loosing the weight as I now carry her around). I'm not sure what the plan is now. I hope to bring her home soon.
Take care
