what's next

In 2011 we were able to by 80 acres 45min for home back on crown land. Half the land is an old field, and other half jack pine. In May 2012 we started building our cabin. It's post and beam foundation, with pine beams holding up the loft. We had a friend do the foundation, and frame for us. After that the work started for us. All spring from may to june we had sandhill cranes that were in our field. We had our first night in the cabin with our kids 4 month later at the end of august. The cabin still need to lots of work, for the inside to be liveable. August my husband got the solar panels and suff in place. Got the stove in just in time mid of september. We worked ever weekend but but 3 for the start of summer tell now. I'm getting tried off working all weekend but winter is coming, and we need to get things in place. October was time to do siding pine board and batten which I per painted with protective oil. Got most of the cabin done but snow came before we could get the last one done.Thanksgiving was the first No Work weekend, and we got 2 feet of snow in 24 hours. When we start this build we wanted to have a place were we could retire, and until then make memories with our teen age kids. We have been campers for 17 years and need to do something new.

We are not hunters, but the whole family (but me) shoots bow. The teens have made a large fort with fox hole for airsoft wars with there friends. What we do there ATV, snowmobile, cross country ski, snow shoe, wildlife watch, jog, play cards, star star gazing and more... we are 45 min from boating and fishing. This is where the unicycling will head next. We would like to build ramps, board walks in the trees for riding. Will we have to wait tell the snow leave to start the building. Should make of some fun riding!
