Water.... nice to have

It has been an adventurous couple of days.

It has been very cold this week. So cold, in fact, that there was no running water when we got up here Friday night. So Saturday morning, we went out onto the lake, drilled a hole with the auger and took six pails of water out of the lake. To get hot water, we lit the sauna, and filled a couple of more buckets with snow.

We put a 100 watt bulb in a wire cage down the well hole and onto the well cap. By about 4 AM this morning, the water came back on. Thank goodness, because I’m dying to brush my teeth!
