Progress through September 2013

We spent six days out at the cabin with Penny and Rich in mid-September.  We had pretty bad weather, but we were able to finish the roof on the porch.

 

 

 We spent most of the time working on the bathroom.  We plumbed-in the shower and installed the red cedar boards, then stained them.  It looks really nice, we just need to hook up the water now!

 

 

Penny and Rich worked out in the rain and wind to install their cedar shake siding.

 

 

 

 

 

Progress through August 2013

Although we didn't make too much progress this summer, due to lots of time fishing instead of building, the last couple of weekends we were able to get a few things done.  We finished most of the siding on the door-side wall.  We still need to build a new door and then we can finish the trim around it and the battens.  We were able to get it stained while it is still warm outside.

 

We also cleared out under the front deck and built a boardwalk.

 

Then, we promptly filled-up the space with milled boards for the inside of the cabin.  This will give the wood a chance to dry out before we put it up this winter.

 

 

We also put up some skirting on the front and started on the porch roof.  We still have abour four feet left to finish the side, but the deck is covered past the door which will make it really nice on those rainy days.  We still have some trimming to do, but the porch is coming along nicely.
