Fall colors on the ride up north. Colors were really vibrant!!!
Weather was really good Saturday and we were able to complete the top of the front siding project. This took up all of the spare pieces we had. Lots of little pieces leftover that we used up on the south side wall. Also worked on electrical stuff but that is boring to photograph. Working to get bedroom done so drywall can be hung this winter in that room.
We also began work on the front of the lower part of the cabin. This will be the toughest part to side as there are multiple layers and uneven structure on the front. Part of the that due to the work we did and part of it due to the choice of materials whoever built the house. It should all work out in the end, did a few tests to see how it all will fit together. Also looks like we need at least 28 pieces to completely finish the three walls we started. Seven pieces for the north wall, 13 for the front and 8 pieces for the southern wall. We need to really try to get the southern part boxed in due to the winter weather.
Also, we reluctantly turned off the water. System was drained and we need to replace the filter and add some bleach in the filter to clean it out. Temps inside were very reasonable, the little bit of insulation we added has allowed us to see temps stay around 65 degrees even when the temps were down in the low 40's like this morning. It required a fire on Saturday to initialize the temps but then the electric heat kicked in and maintained. The one heater actually was off due to the temps being above its set point.
And lastly, we discovered a squeak in the floor upstairs. Yikes I hate squeaky floors......that will get fixed.
We officially are now on winter schedule for the cabin, probably no more Friday to Sunday trips, takes too much water for the toilet and no easy showers.
