Nov 9th - 15th 2009

Well in the past week Patty and I have been busy at the cabin. We managed to stay there from Tuesday to Sunday morning. What a feeling to actually sleep and stay in something we built. Here are a few pictures of the progress we made. Patty has been such a huge help, I decided to get her her own tool belt :)

I started to work on putting in the first window. Keep in mind that I cut most of my wood with my chainsaw.

Patty worked on finishing up the floor and putting the floor insulation:

The fireplace was brought up and put in place:

We enclosed the openings temp, so we could stay:

Reclaimed metal for the roof, it was on a historic building in our town at one point:

Installing the roof:

We managed to get the siding started:

Picture as we left for home:

Here are some pictures of the inside... We didn't work on the loft, as we concentrated on work outside, but it was cozy and with each day of work the cabin really seemed to stay warmer and warmer...

We really had a lot of fun getting the cabin this far. Hopefully some insulation inside and some more siding will get completed in the next couple of weeks.
