cabin building part 3...

 well more work to be done, i needed to next dig a ditch for the drain pipe which would be around the back of the cabin to keep rain water out of my foundation and out of the cabin.  freeman came and helped with part of this and i really appreciated his help. 
 drain pipe in place, well at least the back section.
 took a little ride down to the local landscape company to pick up some 1 1/4 inch chipped gravel for in the drain pipe ditch
 even ron came over to supervise a bit.  thank you ron for all your wonderful ideas and materials that you have gifted me, not to mention the beautiful coat rack that phylis and you gave me. 
 working on the floor
 after we finished digging the drain pipe ditch we decided to change things up a bit and instead of using the metal piping that was the original plan we used some flexible piping gifted from ron.  we drilled holes into the pipe and filled the ditch with the chipped gravel. 
 as always im running out of day light.  blake came down to visit for the fourth and with the help of dad and blake we got my floor joist all finished and the first layer of house wrap put on.  this is the under side of my floor, we will flip it over this week and then attach it to the posts and fill the floor with insulation and put on the actual floor.  its all coming together.
and its dark.  thanks mom for coming over for the last little bit to help me get done before dark, or too dark i should say.  again thank you to everyone who has been out to help.  your all so wonderful.  DAD, I COULD NOT BE DOING THIS WITH OUT YOU...... THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
