July 10th damn it's hot

Kids had fun in hammock after using 2 gallons of water for squirt gun fight.
Here is picture of the original hole in the wall that had old window. It was covered up with OSB early on.
Finished product- 6 hours later. And it opens and closes too!!! Screen door will wait a bit, need to clean out the junk to work on that. The committee also decided to revise the rule "No AC at cabin" to "maybe some AC at cabin...."

Lot of silly tourists this week, more then July 4th it seemed.

July fourth weekend




Well July 4th was a blast weekend, even had local fireworks!!!! (iykwim)....lol

Most of the time spent in construction was laying 6 sheets of OSB on the floor joists for the loft. Hotter then the sauna back home for 3 days. We got 6 more to finish the loft flooring to go.

The picture is the "trial-run" ceiling fan to make sure the blades have plenty of clearance to the roof line. BAsically it hangs down 36 inches fromt he ceiling and can have a 52 to 66 inch total blade length. Should provide a good amount of air movement in the house. We will also have fans in the two bedrooms to help move air around, really trying to not install air conditioning.

Spent about 500 bucks on wiring and such, getting ready to run outside walls electrical so insulation can get started. Cabin needs insulation so we can work all winter and not freeze like years past.
