Today, the maintenance folks came over and filled in the gaps in the sheetrock. They say Monday or Tuesday another outside contractor will come to put up the backsplash and do the mud-n-taping on the walls.
In December 1984, I spent a long weekend in a hunting cabin deep in the backwoods of NC, it had no running water, an outhouse and a creek. I got muddy crawling through brush to and from the ambush site. I didn't take the buck, the other guy did and it took both of us to haul it back to the cabin. I had the fastest "bath" of my life and I believe I replicated the Rebel Yell in that water. First, last and only time I will ever deer hunt as long as they sell meat in plastic wrap.
I have family members that hunt once a year and often bring back meat to share when they do. I don't complain.
