Emily Carr quote

"You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That's all right, you are feeling your way into the thing."

Day 35

I am done. Tonight the moon was full and beautiful when I looked at it I thought she looked pregnant. Later as I lay in bed resting I felt the baby moving for the first time. Yes, little one, now we have room for your crib.

Day 34

I spent the morning struggling again with putting the tin around the stove flashing. My neighours are back and have been watching me the last couple of days and this weekend they have eighty people coming up for a wedding. I don't like to be looked at that much. A neighbour and former roofer showed up around lunch time to check my progress and in forty five minutes it was all installed including the stovecap.

Day 33

I put one sheet of tin on and then put the strapping in place for the stove flashing. Then I spent the remainder of the day attempting to put the tin around the stove flashing. Am disgusted with the instructions that accompanied the piece as it is obvious it is dependant on the silicone not to leak.

Day 32

It was pouring rain and I needed no excuse to take it off and rest and putty windows. Its been 13 days since I did nothing and I almost feel guilty.

Day 31

16 weeks prego today. I am feeling more tired than usual and pushed myself and put up 7 sheets of tin and ridge cap. Went to thanksgiving dinner at my neighbours. There was about 60 people there. Had a lovely time and the most delicious piece of homemade oumpkin pie.
