We didn't leave Fairbanks until almost 11am on Saturday, but it was a gorgeous day....sunny and hot. Once we got to the river there was a bit of a breeze on the river that kept things bearable.
That afternoon we got one of the gable ends enclosed, started on the soffits, installed REAL stairs and got our used windows all cleaned up before a big thunderstorm moved through in the evening; lightning and everything. The kids and Tekla holed up in their tent and played cards while Mike and I sat up in the cabin and enjoyed a bottle of wine while watching the sky show.

Sunday morning started out cloudy and then it started to rain pretty steadily. We worked in raingear for a couple hours, but by 1pm it was clearing and it ended up being a quite pleasant afternoon/ evening. We finished enclosing the gable ends, almost finished the soffits (our Dewalt batteries ran out of juice), installed the last two windows and the door. Piper even helped me plant my irises I hauled out from Totek Lake a couple weeks ago. They should grow great on the DCR!

We also had some Fairbanks friends show up Sunday afternoon, they were nice enough to lend an extra pair of hands for the windows & door installation....they also took all the kids out for a boat ride & a little fishing....nice!

We've been having a great time building this month on the DCR, but we are definitely looking forward to the July 4th weekend on the Teklanika!
