window weekend June 19th


Amazing what can get done with a little effort. We finished all the window replacements. This picture is after finishing the upper windows ( picture order is backwards). This was the hardest to do window as it was all ladder and scaffold work and the kids wanted to see what we did up high.




Emily was in charge of pictures and only took like 10 to get this shot.




Finished product for the weekend., Ignore the scrap pile and junk, dumpster coming soon!!! All we need is the door to go in on the left side of wall and then can start siding.






The last window. Takes the boarded up look away and really helps light up the cabin. This wall will be first one sided.

Weekend of June 12th - red flannel alert!!


Well good thing we got the woodstove, had 4 fires in it over the weekend to warm up the place. Temps earlier in week were in 90's but weekend kept drifting into low 50's /40's and solid breezes off lake kept it cool. Breeze helped keep mosquitoes at bay too!!

Not much work, seems we forgot the framing square so cannot layout stair stringer without it. Installed small window in maintenace area of cabin and it has a good view of road. Took measurements for roof and to start siding outside of house.

Early Sunday coffee drinkers got to see two deer walk in and sample the bird feeder offerings.

Hank got out of the pen again, but this time rolled in something that really stank.
