1st rib bent, cut to length, and in place. Spacing to top edge is close enough for me to work with. Now to get the remaining 3 done and in.

5 mounting holes drilled and both batteries are now dead. 🙁 What I get for leaving them outside in subfreezing weather.

And now on to the 3rd cup of coffee and the ribs. Till later folks…

Will have to move wood several hundred feet down the hillside to get it to the trailer. Glad we have a wheelbarrow.

Found another large dead/down tree yesterday. Looks to be several trailer loads of wood there. Wish it was closer to the access road though.

Going to try to get the ribs up for the camper top skin today. Though may go out and cut some more firewood later on.

Up and out this morning earlier. Got a fire going in the firepit to knock the chill off when the hands get cold.

Ended up cutting for 4+ hours yesterday, then building a fire in the outside pit and cooking supper out there. Twas an early night.
