Bernie Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Posted earlier this summer of this project. The pic below was what it looked like before. This pic I took today of where its at now. Just finished the shingles. WHEW! Heck of a job to do by yourself. First time shingle job for me. Ya I have pounded down a few shingles before but I was the guy that the lead hand always yelled at "GET ME MORE SHINGLES" A bit more trim and another coat of paint the outside is complete. May work on the inside a bit this winter. The next project is an old icehouse. The walls are a little tilted but ok. The roof is shot. But not this year, enough work this summer already.
Greencoachdog Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Lookin' good Bernie!!! Do I need to send you my carpentry and roofing resume?
Mattones Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Great job man! I want to build my own little cabin one day.
Daplumma Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Good stuff bud.Been wonderin what you been up to. Joe
Bernie Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Lookin' good Bernie!!! Do I need to send you my carpentry and roofing resume? Now what would a southern guy like you know about an icehouse? No resume required from you Glen. Anytime you want to come up and pound a few nails and do a little fishing you would be welcome. Thanks for the kind replies Mattones and Daplumma. Edited August 21, 2008 by Bernie
aplumma Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Now what would a southern guy like you know about an icehouse? You all taught Glen what an icehole was so why not an icehouse..... Great work Bernie glad to see you are not roaming the streets getting in trouble. The roof looks great and now that it is weather proof again you can take your time finishing up the interior. Art
Reef Runner Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Some real good handywork there Bernie. Lookin' great!
Headhunter Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Lookin great Bernie! I recall a smaller building, just ouside your cottage that sure did feel like an ice house the Saturday morning in February this year! I hope this means you get to do some more fishin now! Also, I tied up a few trailer hooks on some jigs last week up at Elk Lake... old school rocked! (But you already knew that!) HH Edited August 21, 2008 by Headhunter
Bernie Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) You all taught Glen what an icehole was so why not an icehouse..... Art Icehouses were even before my time. Maybe Glen could enlighten me on them. There is still some sawdust on the floor, but no ice. Lookin great Bernie!

HH Guess a heater in the backhouse will be required for some southern softies. Ya...more fishing coming up. Been doing OK though, been out a few times. Edited August 21, 2008 by Bernie
