Over the past month, much has happened. Some good, some less than good. To get the less than good out of the way, we'll start there. Almost four weeks ago, I got a serious bacteria infection coupled with allergic skin reaction. I was in and out of hospitals during that time. Finally, the second round of I.V. antibiotics (three antibiotics) got me in the right direction. We were fortunate to not be late in the treatment, as it was moving fast and very aggressive. Not only did the infection area spread, but also started blistering and seeping and also the whole leg swelled up in a two hour period. Some spreading to chest and also started to spread all over my back, but not to the stage of blistering or hot painful heat. Today, I am into day 4 of walking. Yesterday, I took my first real shower. Yea! During the growing of the blisters, the pain was the worst. A close second were the burning veins from the antibiotics.
So due to my situation, we as a family did not get to do too many fun things as a family, during Aspen's Christmas Vacation stay.
Before and during this time building was also being done on a small cabana up on our tallest hill about two hundred feet above our main house. So here are some picks.
All woodworking was done right here at the shop.

All of the thatch work got done yesterday. The crew put up all of the thatch in just two days. The last day being rather long 7 to 7:30. They were really tired, so we insisted that they come up to the house for dinner. We were glad to have enough food for everyone. We are very pleased with the work.
Today, I worked on a small laminated table edged out in Mahogany.
