My Montana log project: during (number one).

By this point, I already had the log cut and the cement bought. Did you know that a bag of cement weights 80 lbs? Geez! Anyway, I wedged in some chunks of drywall from my fallen ceiling (never trust your brother's hippy friends with ceiling work). My intent was to have the cement (between logs) to have something to cling to while it dried. I'll attach a photo of this stage of the process. I was working in light rain, sipping beer (Budweiser), and munching on raw hot dogs and peaches when I was hungry. Edit: Oh, I just saw the photo I took. I "test inserted" the log I had cut to see if it fit well.

At the risk of inflating your ego, may I say I admire you? No I am not drunk. Unless coffee can do that. But ...for now, I want to be honest. Tomorrow morning, I will change my mind. I am sure of it.

Michael moved to New Orleans.That means no new videos. That means we have nothing to argue about. I don't know how long I can take this.

@vandana7 I am sure I will be a big hit among Indians. If I die, make sure you post a video of me scootering off into the sunset with some hot Indian babe behind me.

I know the cement is very heavy. Do not eat raw hot dogs, they are not safe. You were doing a good job.

@TheHorse She is right, they can harbor Listeria bacteria. Besides that they are a bit gross.

I meant to ask you before but forgot... How much brush and weeds did you have to clear away from that area before you could start working on it?

Well done. I hope you remembered to take a photo of the finished project. I don't admire your diet quite so much.

OK, so once you fix the outside, will you get the rest of the place fixed up? Does it have running water?

Yep.We have a spring that always provides water, regardless of the weather.

Cement certainly is heavy. Is that what's normally used?

I am sure there are other products one could use.I just went with what my friends and the people at the Lumber Yard recommended.
