Building a goddamned log cabin!
... a log cabin for snails, worms, spiders, beetles, centipedes and other unidentifiable scary things seen only in science fiction movies...
Jason's first experience with a chainsaw, cutting the old railroad ties. As expected, his Y-chromosome kicked in and got all exhilarated by the experience.
We're also working on painting the house garland-green. Rocco is contemplating going back in the house to eat our breakfast from the Farmer's Market. He decided in favour of the idea.
I've never gotten so banged up, scratched up, bruised, sweaty and dirty. And it felt fuckin' great.

I remember having to do something similar for my mum’s garden at the house I grew up in. There is something self-motivating and rewarding about putting in the muscle on projects like this (just built a storage shelf today myself, singing the Man Song all along
).
