First Night in the cabin,
|
| Some Front Views of the Cabin | |||
 Kind of like a surveillance photo, huh? Damn paparazzi... |
 Lookie here... I have all of my windows in! |
 This is the side looking out over the lake....you'll see that later. |
 Alright, this is my all time favorite picture that I've taken so far. |
| Moving Dirt...Instead of Rocks... | |||
 |
|||
 I rented the backhoe to get some rocks from my neighbor |
 Ken says "I ain't moving them friggin' rocks." |
 So we used the backhoe to fill in some holes and stop some erosion problems |
 Big Ole Dirt Pile We've still got plenty of dirt left if we need any more |
 Ken gets behind the wheel... Yes, you should be frightened |
 Brian's gonna go up and over that dirt pile! |
 Ken takes another scoop |
 Ken crests the hill...everybody look out! |
| Hauling the Mattresses | |||
 We had a little "issue" with the mattresses... As in, they were supposed to be delivered... |
 Well, when they couldn't deliver, I got them to rent me a trailer to take them myself. |
 Not exactly fun, but I was determined to sleep in the cabin that weekend |
 I didn't bother setting up the log beds yet for fear of them getting ruined. |
| My First Night in the Cabin! | |||
 And yes, here we are....my first night in the cabin! |
 Dig the retro Empire Strikes Back bedsheets! |
 Ken sleeps in his cot...we were too tired to unpack the big mattresses |
 Ken says "enough pictures already...go to bed dammit." |
| Chinking the Inside of the Building | |||
 Yup, still chinking. |
 But we've moved onto the inside of the building |
 A corner in the upstairs bedroom... that would be the fancy new mattress there.... |
 The peak in the upstairs bedroom The chinking looks great, it just takes forever. |
| The Trapezoid Windows | |||
 The windows are in! |
 No more plastic windows! |
 Looks much nicer during the day. |
 Here's a good shot from the loft looking out at my lake |
| Building a Canoe Hut | |||
 Carrying the lumber down the hill |
 Gary looks happy to be outside |
 Gary pretends to be doing something |
 Me, of course, I'm really working, not just posing... |
 Fancy, huh? |
 Hey, it doesn't need to be fancy |
 It just needs to keep the snow off of my canoe! |
 And, we used a bunch of leftover lumber |
Oh, and here's a GREAT shot of my lake with
the Fall colors just starting to show thru. |
