We were on Day 4 with no power in the aftermath of the wicked nor'easter that began late Sunday and raged through Monday. We'd settled into a bit of a routine, moving snow, mixing gas for our little 2-cycle generator, bringing in wood, keeping the temp of our masonry mass heater up, charging tools and phones and laptops, and cooking on a camp stove set on top of our electric range. It was like a camping staycation in our own house. We do have town water and a propane water heater which seemed like a luxury.

Today we went up to our "boathouse"--14x26 Quanset tent building which is now storage for planks, some tools, and reclaimed windows and lumber--and cut up a bunch of framing stock culls we got from my client's job--mostly stuff used for bracing and staging, unusable for building--as we were getting low on all the cut-off scrap we burn in for heat. We got enough gas mixed to get through tomorrow, got another vehicle cleaned off, threw a little more snow, made dinner on the camp stove and Weber gas grill, and sunk back into our chairs to relax when I hear a couple beeps from the kitchen and voilá the power was back on and the furnace fired up! Seems almost extravagantly over-the-top to have such luxury after our imposed four days without.

Anyway, I carried my bright orange Endura today and got these pics after scrounging up a bucket of kindling from the wood shop after finishing our day's worth of "camping" chores.
