Occasionally I have these periods of getting stuff done in a hurry. Sometimes they are just before or after a period of being down and unmotivated. I wonder if they have a name for that?

Anyway as I can’t guarantee how long this little shot of energy is going to last, I am going to focus on the laundry list of cabin jobs. Top of the list is internal framing so I can get the wiring done. Having a deadline for the electrician is really motivating me to get everything ready so it’s just a wiring job with no other work (and costs) involved. The money ran out a while back so everything is either funded by selling stuff off, or juggling credit cards in the Grand Designs tradition. I’m resisting the other troupe of “in by Christmas” because even I am not that delusional, but maybe Christmas lunch in something that looks like a house may be possible, even if there’s no running water and people need to pee in the woods.

Another encouraging thing about all the work that is going on, is the amount of materials that are now part of the building, instead of constantly in the way. I’m really looking forward to getting the long ceiling timbers installed so I can stop tripping over them. I’m reluctant to buy anymore materials at this point of the build as I suspect I already have enough for a lot of jobs, and I would rather not be tying up funds that could be used elsewhere.
