Moved trailer, looked for shale

Today I traveled to the mountains above Melrose, MT, looking for a source of stone to face the daylight end of the basement. I found several places that had limited amounts of the size I think would look good. (I will find out if I am right on this in July!) I found one spot close to the top of the mountain that had quite a bit of good shale in many different colors. My family will help me find other sources when they come to Butte in July, and they will help haul it to our property. 



I also moved the fifth wheel trailer onto the cement slab that will eventually be the garage. I will pick up the circuit breaker and outdoor panel tomorrow and wire electricity to the garage for the trailer.

Bluebird update: The pair that was nesting in the basement has built a nest in the birdhouse I put up by the garden.
