    Thank you all.
    Things are not doing well, the foot still badly inflated and with a nice purple color.
    I hope to be able to resume in two more weeks, I have to sand and oil the deck and then bolt the sills for the cabin, to the intermediary beams underneath.
    When that is done, the planking finally can start. I can't wait.
    In the good news my son, after is summer job is done in Spain, will come to help me. He is strong and when he start working he doesn't stop. He can put easily 10 hours a day with a smile.
    So perhaps my goal to beat the snow can be done. Will see.
    I apreciate your friendship and interrest on the project.
    Daniel

    all right there Hop Along lets not get to sappy just cause you've come up lame on us
    what say you carve out a stem head piece in all your spare time
    sounds like you have a few weeks to kill and you could likely slice up something pretty nifty

    I am glad your son will come to help you. You should stay off for three weeks just to be sure, if you can tolerate the idleness for that long. It is difficult, the waiting.

    Great of you to share your project Daniel. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Patience is the key to recovery of those injuries and do exactly as you're told, no less (or more) ;)
