I lived alone with my baby in an off-grid cabin on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia. Now I live alone on Prince Edward Island with my ten year old daughter.

day 11
I got my lumber after I made two trips down to the barge landing. In between tears I framed the twenty four foot wall facing north and had to re~do everything almost twice. By the afternoon I felt exhausted. Due to the pregnancy and the softening of the muscles in my lower back I found it impossible to bend over to frame as is normal. It was more do~able sitting. But only for awhile. After several hours baby protested and my abdomen ached. At 10:00 pm I realized I built the wall upside down.
