Memorial Day 2011




Four Days of relaxation at the cabin. Wow what a nice time. Weather was a mixed bag, cold, rain, hot, sunny. Typical Michigan I guess. We got the woodstove working and had two fires in it, one for testing, and one because it was in the upper 40's on Saturday. We also found we can cook on the top and so we made fresh rolls and heated up our brats and sausages.

Lot of work got done, not too many pictures though. The stairway was framed in and we hung 3 of the 4 sheets of drywall inside the stairway. Next is the stringers and steps up to the loft. We framed in the wall-hallway section- pretty time intensive with all the angles and such involved.

Emily helped with the tree fort and the picture shows up putting the initial flooring. Next step is rest of flooring and then the railing so kids can play on it.

Pretty mellow time.

May 7-8 weekend




SPRING has SPRUNG!!!! What a beautiful weekend we had. PERFECT weather.

Saturday we spent working on the wall layouts and tightening up the floor joists in the loft. Nothing to photo as not much changed. We are ready for walls to go up and next time we work on the place that will get done.

Sunday we switched gears and began our clubhouse project. Kids wanted a tree house to go with the swing set. This is pretty much the same as building a house project so the day was spent on that.
