Ranch Pictures

Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a first today... Ross (aka husband) is a guest contributor!!

Ross snapped some pictures during his ranch trip last week and he's going to give us some additional context :)

This picture is shortly after arrival when we were unloading to stay for the last time in the old trailer. It's been (kind of) good to us, but I won't miss staying in it. We had a big storm the last night to remind us why it's not fun to sleep with water dripping on you.

Here is the front of the bunkhouse before we started to work. What you can't really see is all of the effort work that went in to rehabbing the roof. All of the tin panels were pulled off, the wooden slats re-done, insulation added, and new flashing put on. Lots of work by Dad, Brandon, and Uncle Steve.

I had not discovered the awesomeness of a brad nailer until this day. I'm a convert. There was a LOT of trim to be done on the windows and having that little gun made it possible to do in a weekend.

We did manage to slip in a little hunting between work sessions. This was the evening before opening morning at the bow blind.

 A little cull buck walking past the double blind feeder opening morning. 

A double rainbow from the elevated blind.

Light, fan, AND bunk beds! This is a luxury that we're not accustomed to.

Electrical box addition.

There is a lot of hard work that has gone into this bunkhouse over the last six months are so. We are so grateful for the time and effort that Uncle Steve, Brandon, Mike Ray, and Steve Aldrich have put in. But most of all we're grateful to Mom and Dad for the countless hours and expense they devoted to the project. We're really looking forward to our time there!
