I haven't been on here for awhile and hope everyone is enjoying cabin life.
I have been spending a lot of time tinkering and just putzing at the shack. I was there yesterday and taking nap and was wakened by a jack hammer going off on the roof! Lol
I'm sure they can't do much damage to a tin roof and or chimney stack but I do hope he leaves. Lol
I believe a while back there was a post about this. Have a great summer.

Where I am we have about half dozen different woodpeckers. There's a pileated wdpecker, looks like Woody and almost the size of a crow. Bunch of little ones, then there is the Flicker. Not real colorful, but cocky. Gotta respect a 6 oz bird that will stand up to a 220 lb person

Neb, that is actually a mating call. It will start out rapidly and then slow till its stops each time. Hitting on the metal makes the noise they are after. It will pass as mating season passes.

I thought I better check in to make everyone is still alive. Lol

Yep weather has been good fish came to a halt because of high water. So now just fine tuning things at the shack. I cut in a small air intake for the stove. I did some chalking and some fixing here and there.
toyota_mdt_tech>>> Try to get a nap in once in awhile I hope the woodpecker mating season ends soon. Lol He was there today also and he thinks he owns the place.
I built a H frame for hanging game and doing some skinning. I have some beaver problems so I will be trapping this fall to thin them out. I have and will be making some beaver throw rugs when I harvest them this fall. I also have been making willow loops for stretching beaver pelts. They look nice on the wall.
TH>>no carving of late but with hot days ahead I will start again. You still selling North Camp?
