More snow and a close call.

More snow at the cabin overnight. But thankfully as the sun came out today, the meleting accelerated. As we were standing in the open drain field, we heard a loud rumbling sound and quickly realized the snow -- ALL the snow -- was sliding off the roof. Katie and I managed to avoid getting hit by quickly darting toward our neighbors cabin, but our poor dog, Sammie, got clobbered by a big clod. Thankfully, it was only a few inches on the roof, but when it slid off it covered from below the roof eve all the way across the drain field.  You'll see some evidence further below in the picture of the side of the house.

Took some time to measure all the upstairs and downstairs rooms so we can start planning doors, cabinets, counters, and sinks.  You'll see panoramas of the master bedroom and bunk room. Garage door was supposed to go in today but apparently it was framed correctly and that has to be redone before it can go in.

The snow level is supposed to rise this week giving us our last gasp weather window to get things buttoned up for the winter.

Dirt piled up against the side of the foundation. It will be partially scooped back on top of the drainfield.

AFTER the snow fell. Snow doesn't just gently slide off. It accelerates as it slides so that the snow that was at the top of the roof is moving faster than the snow on the lower side of the roof. The fast moving snow covered the far edge of the septic field where I'm standing taking this picture.
