The install date for the F3 is just around the corner this coming Friday.
With most of the chores to prepare for the install done, I decided to go out on my first scrounge of the fall. A lady had 4 fir trees cut leaving 10 feet of stump that she was going to have carved. The carving plan never panned out, so she decided she wanted them cut down. I went out to her house and fell the tall stumps, however the wood was full of termites and ants, and what wasn't rotten was very punky, so the trip was a loss. I cut into rounds and hauled them away because I said I would, but I didn't like it. First scrounge is a bust...

So back at home, I got to work on the wood rack project, which would wrap up my stove prep chore list.
Siding installed in the hole of the car port wall.

Then I framed up the wood rack, and started filling it up.
