It might seem like we’ve been offline, but it’s just that a mix of things has resulted in an overly-long gap in posts. It was a combination of being very busy with the construction; an old computer without a functioning battery; beautiful long summer evenings when I wanted to sit out chatting by the fire instead of in the site cabin on the computer; and an overload of photos. But I’ve now got the photos in order and will catch the blog up to the current situation, and then stay on top of them. Hope we haven’t lost too many interested readers!
