June 23/24th beautiful weather weekend

This is the samples pulled at HD for the kitchen. Since we already have 2 of the cabinets and the flooring, we decided to make sure the top looked good with them. They have a light colored top but doesnt look as good.
Working the blue foam finally. Added last 7 sheets to the north wall. Once done we installed the vapor barrier. This was a tad more difficult with both kids not quite grasping the concept. But we did get it installed. Just as the mosquitoes hit for the night. Apparently we will use 37 or so pieces of siding to cover this wall. Ouch.



Vapor barrier installed, we have to wrap around the house then will cut the roll in half for the top piece. We should be able to wrap the south side of the house as well. Back wall needs foam board.
An old friend has passed. The frypan used for many many camping trips finally gave it up. I was trying to adjust the hump in the middle and the coating shattered and fell out. It was all burnt/crazy burned up in the middle under the coating. It now will hang in our wall of memories.
First things happened this weekend. First shower in the cabin was accomplished, still a tad too cool for my liking but wet and soapy for the win!!

Should have real hot water next trip or next next trip. We will see. We also worked on bathroom, finishing up drywall and building the closet. Figured out how to plumb in the sink. Door is next to be installed, wall is REALLY bugging me for being "straight" as cooked spaghetti.....

We also cut a piece of plywood up and have a beginning kitchen cook area. Much nicer to keep the kitchen stuff in the kitchen. Need to pull some electric over there for lighting and outlets.

Driving home is getting very hard to do.

new features

We added an outdoor faucet for easy access to water for the dogs and such....


We also "fixed" the two small leaks and everything is phase one water supply work should be good to go.
Added electrical circuit tot he maintenance room and will install a light next.  Hot water lines are next for the shower and to the water tank.

Need to finish up the shower install and get bathroom done for regular bathing.

water is flowing like a river


After much effort, and about $300.00 in supplies, we got the pump running. Not just running but "running"....
Was what it looked like in 2009 when we started the whole thing.
Anyways, we now start plumbing out the stuff for running water. Toilet is first then shower and hot water tank.


And of course, running through the sprinkler IS the thing to do on a hot day..... Weather was amazing, little warm but a good breeze off lake for the win!!
