Hmm...let's see...work on the bike path along route K is in progress and they got around to my driveway Friday and installed a new culvert and gravel. I had no idea there was an existing culvert there as it was completely buried. The path will meet up with the Katy trail in McBaine.

I finished with work on the parlor style wood stove-REX is back on his feet. I got to the top part today. I made a round plate(actually 2 round plates welded atop each other) for the hole on top w/horseshoe as handle(missing original round hole cover) and I added a grate on as a place for a mug to stay warm but not get too hot. I had put a few such places on the stove I made for the Lynch house and found them very handy.

Soooooo...I started tearing out walls and moving electric to create a place in this little house for the wood stove on the first floor. I tore out a closet and some of the stairway walls to basement steps. It was in 50's last night-Fall is just around the bend.

Yesterday, at Re-Store of all places, I found a copy of MY Side Of The Mountain the movie(dvd). I saw the movie as a kid and have often thought about it. I hadn't realized it was originally a book till I happened to run across a copy recently at a thrift store. The book is much better than the movie and goes into all the specific wild plants he ate. Also, the book is set in the Catskills-while the movie is set in Canada for some reason. Oh, and also I found the book-Lord Of The Flies at Re-Store (used building materials/Habitat For Humanity store)- 50 cents for the two of them.
