OK, so as soon I had that log nailed in, and some cement in the gaps, I drank some beer and went to bed. I had read on the internet that I could paint by morning. I had tweaked my bad knee by that time, but had some Naprosin to wash down with my beer, so I was OK. Actually, I played some guitar before I fell asleep. The rain was gently falling outside, and I had a fire going in my stove. I think this photo shows the last stage before painting.

And how is your knee now? It sounds like you did a good job replacing the rotten log.

I am good at keeping that place up. But I'm getting old!

@TheHorse You aren't old. I don't think you'll ever be old. Old is a state of mind, not the number of years you have. Are you ever going to stay in the cabin more than one week a year? I know I would want to, I do realize it's a long drive to get there.

Yeah,I always do. But it's satisfying work, partially because I'm honoring the memory of my parents, who left me (and my brother) that cabin.

I would have had a restful sleep with a fire going and falling rain. Hope the knee isn't giving you too much trouble.
