In this video, I finally explain the meaning of my channel name! I also have a slight change in plans, yet again, for this cabin build as winter is fast approaching. I get started on installing the roof boards, do the bird blocking, and also get some pest control work and stack all the firewood down at the main cabin. A little bit of everything in this one. 😊 (At least the cedar boards I purchased and am using are locally milled, and not from the lumber yard...).

Some of you may know by now, and the reason for this video being posted a bit later in the day, is that yesterday we had to put Hannah down. It's been an extremely challenging few weeks, trying to decide when she is bad enough and not good enough, and we finally had enough signs from her that it was her time. Yesterday I held her in my arms as she took her last breath. I whispered in her ear "Nighty-night my sweet girl, see you in the morning" which is what I said to her (what I say to all the dogs) every single night. As heartbroken as I am, and in tears as I write this, I am relieved that she is no longer suffering. She fought a long hard battle with that tumour in her head beside her brain stem, and now at least we know it can no longer hurt her.

We had Hannah for 9 years, she lived until she was nearly 13, and that is a full life for sure. She had one of the best lives a dog could ever ask for, full of more fun and adventure than most people live, and I am so grateful for her presence in our life. Her passing closes a book in our lives, and leaves me as the only lady in the house. My heart won't be the same for a while as I grieve, but in time, as always, it will heal. Losing 2 dogs in one year - I feel like its been a bit of an emotionally challenging year for us.😔

It looks like snow in our forecast, and I'm feeling an immense amount of pressure and panic over this cabin build, but as with anything - one day at a time is all I can do...
