The first, faltering plumbing baby steps

Slightly overcast at the outset, but the day turned warm and partly sunny.

No need to dig out the snowmobile. Just pulled the cover off which had a little bit of snow on it. 

This is what happens if you fail to visit for a few weeks OR you have a mechanical breakdown during the winter. 

Instead of carrying it, I dragged the new cross-cut saw up to the cabin steps using the snow mobile cover. 

One piece of pipe and two fittings yielded the deeply satisfying result of a sink drain rough in. (Still missing the breather tube out the top and the connection under the floor to the toilet drain.)

The underside of the sink drain.

Here's the blow-by-blow of the day in time lapse accompanied by a deeply inspiring, but very appropriate sound track.

Verizon coverage is pretty darn good at the cabin, so I was able to listen to several live church conference sessions interspersed by 2 hours of randomized Pandora music.

Finally, here's a looking-North, month-long record of the changing view out the back window.

It warmed up so much by the time I left that I began sinking in as I walked back to the snowmobile from the cabin. The daytime temperatures are now often above freezing even though snow continues to be in the forecast in the coming week. It was nice working in the cabin with the temperature above freezing.
