on that path

This is a building project of Sally's - she is the coordinator for the restoration of a heritage house that will eventually be Frostbite Music Festival's office space on Whitehorse's new waterfront.

I helped out with part of the interior demolition, and on another day helped by offering moral support to Sally, Kelli-Anne, and Brenda as they stuffed Oakum between the walls in the pouring rain one Sunday afternoon.

During Chris' visit to Yukon, we drove out to Kluane Lake to visit Sally, and help her build her stacked cordwood house. Chris is a carpenter and is not used to building structures that aren't "plumb" so this was a good eye-opener for him! He mostly helped JP cut pieces of lumber from beetle-killed wood on the property using a chainsaw mill JP bought from e-bay. I mainly stripped the bark off the trees that would be used in the cordwood wall.

Joanna and Mitt came by later with caribou steaks to put on the firepit, and later we had a sauna. This was a great long-weekend for everybody, and a good introduction to the Yukon for Chris.
