Camp Tamarack - An experience in Siding

This past weekend I went to Camp Tamarack to help install siding on a new building that was built this past spring. I have a few thoughts on the experience.

First, the road to the camp was in rough shape. I am glad that I took my truck rather than the car and if the road was indeed that much better than it was in the spring, I think that I would have driven the ditch. I was channeling Elvis as I got All Shook Up.

Second, do I ever have trouble with manual labor. Sitting at a computer all day sure doesn't keep one in shape for hammering 3 and a half inch nails all day. That being said, it sure feels good to work on something and see the start and end of the project whether you reach the end of it or not.

Third, kids grow up too fast. My 2 year old spilled some iced tea in his plate and said "Oh Shoot". This made me think two things ... I sure am glad that he didn't fill the second word in with what I would have used ... and where does the time go?

At least the people I was working with had similar feelings and intentions on the work ... we will do what we can do and we can't expect perfection from amateurs.

Lastly, fall in northern Saskatchewan is glorious. The leaves were just starting to change, but a person can really appreciate how peaceful and beautiful the area is at this time of year.

See my Worker Bee post from the 17th of this month for my initial thoughts.
