Plumbing workday (with heat-assist) + hole saws strikeout again

First workday of the New Year at KnArrow Haus. Temperature was right at freezing, and there's been some freezing rain over the last few days, although none while we were there. We arrived about 11am and loaded up the trailer. Katie was the snowmobile chauffer driver today, and I was the whacky photo taker who can't figure out how to frame the picture.


KnArrow Haus continues to take and shed snow well. The only challenge is getting from the snowmobile track in the driveway over to the stairs. Where the snow is not paced down by the snowmobiles, you posthole about every second step unless you really take your time and stomp down the snow before putting any weight on each step.


The 6 foot rock tilted up at the edge of the driveway is now almost completely covered by snow.
Our driveway market rock covered in snow.





It took a while for the LP heater to make a dent in the internal temperature of the cabin, but after about an hour of running it did take edge off making working a little mor pleasant.

I got all the holes drilled in the subfloors for the toilet flanges, but then I discovered that, yet again, I have purchased the "wrong" hole saws -- this time the saws I had purchased were too long for the center pilot bit, preventing me from using them.  (Corrected again with a return trip to Lowes on the way home.)




Katie was my tool caddie, site clean-up crew, and general photographer.

The fireplace shed is shedding most of its snow, thankfully.
