First, I brought up a 1000' spool of wire that will be used when Glenn Anderson trenches the waterline from the well to the cabin. We actually need about 550'. The balance we will sell to Bruce Gunderson. The cost of the spool was $311.95. Russ, I'll send you the receipt for this wire. I talked to Glenn Sunday night. He says he has two big jobs ahead of this small job. He's hopeful he can get the trenching done before freeze up.
Additionally, on Monday Floyd and I talked to Jamie Pearson to see if he would be interested in quoting the materials and construction of the shell including the concrete. He said he would try to do this for us. Today I sent him a copy of the materials estimate I have from Menards.
Earlier this year I asked Menards if they would provide a materials estimate for this structure approximated in the picture below. This quote ($23,609) includes the materials for the shell of this structure including engineered trusses. As you can see the windows and doors are likely not what we would end up using. Any additions would increase the cost; dormer, additional shed roof, windows, etc.
The goal of this process is to have a best estimate of the construction of at least the shell and concrete by our annual meeting in December. Also in our annual meeting we need to develop a plan to pay for any work we approve.

Some of the Stands
Jeff's new stand in the northeast corner of the 80
Improvements in Matt's stand - insulation and OSB board along with a shelf (left corner, a hanger for his Mr. Buddy heater, and an indoor/outdoor thermometer.
Tommy Baker's stand - west end of pasture
Russ's stand in the middle of the pasture
Tom's stand

John's stand in the northeast end of the pasture.
Some game cam pictures
Here's a timber wolf in the northeast corner of the pasture who just happened by three minutes after the picture below this one.
The biggest buck seen by any of the game cams this year and likely being trailed by the wolf.
Spike buck by Jeff's stand
From the gate cam, this is a button buck scratching his buttons.
This is also by the gate.
We put some apples by the pond. They didn't last very long.
All trail cams have been refreshed; clean memory and fresh batteries. We currently have six cameras out.
Hope you are all doing well.
Bob
