We have lights

Got the electricity hooked up to the main pole the first friday we were up and now have some lights! Thanks again Denny! I took a lot of crap because I kept turning them on and off to see if they were still working. That's alright though. First electrical I've ever done and everything worked the first time. We also got screens made for the windows and a slide screen for the main door. Made it possible to sleep in it for the first time. Got the chinking done on the outside and got the insulation up on the inside. Took 3 buckets of chinking on the outside. Will have to buy 2 more for the inside. Also managed to get to Pine River, MN and buy some tongue and groove Basswood for the ceilings from a local lumberyard. Got some Popple, which is a type of Aspen, for the floors. Last but not least I found the motherload of dumped field stones for doing the fireplace base and surround. Got some big ones to stack around the foundation and keep the bigger animals out. Think we had a lynx or bobcat living under there last winter.
