Workin' Down @ The Lake


Recommended Posts

Roof looks great! Your landing looks about 6" short though. If you had cut closed stringers it would have worked better. Stairs can be tricky, but they are a favourite of mine to build.

 

S.

 

You are correct. Figured that out after.

Going to shore it up with an extension before I go any further. ;)

Would you please get off your but and tell the Minions just out of view to pick up the pace as well. We don't want to have the giant OFC house warming in September when the water is frozen solid. Please Dave, get a movin' son.

my flight to yellowknife is already booked...got a great deal on airfaire...maybe an OFC group buy??? :Gonefishing:

 

 

 

 

LOL Creeper!!!! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

FYI, it was a water level not a water hose.

Them water hoses are too hard to see through!!! :tease::tease::tease:

And thanks EH!!! :good:

 

 

shows how much I know! although, i swear to god ive used a regular hose to level something before with my dad (old farmer trick) although im sure 100% accuracy was also not a requirement.

We can charter an entire plane.

Did the same thing to find an internal water leaks on a cooling member on Blast Furnaces, a clear hose though. I think we called it a Newfie monometer. Like Dave said hard to see through a garden hose. But I do remember someone using a water hose to find level somehow on TV.

Was back at er again this weekend.
Managed to get my cribs assembled and installed.
Also got the land based dock section leveled out finally. It's been bugging the crap out of me for three years!!!! :)
Even managed to load about a ton of rock into the cribs. Still lots to go.

Still need to fill in the section where the dock meets land to smooth it out.

Got a little more work done on the stairs to the loft as well.

Back at 'er again this weekend.

Got the stairs almost done.

Ran out of sub-floor adhesive so still need to get the plywood done on the top flight. :D

I can now use them though. :)

Got my starter strips cut and sealed so I can get to work on the siding when vacay begins Friday after work.

Spent 2 days burning off cuts and skids too.

The site is starting to look pretty clean now.

Nice that we've had a bunch of rain so I don't have to worry about burning down the forest this year.

Great work on your "cabin". You certainly have a lot of technical know how!

I have been following your thread since the beginning with great interest as I have also been rebuilding my cottage at the same time.

I had to get building, plumbing and ESA permits with follow up inspections. Is it the same or different up there?

NAH!! We don't need no stinkin' permits!!!! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

No permits needed out side of the city limits. :D

Haven't got a whole lot done since my last post as it's been raining since Sunday. :wallbash:

Got a bit done outside on Sunday but nothing more until yesterday when it was just cold and cloudy. :rolleyes:

Woke up this morning to freezing temps and finally SUN!!!!

Managed to get some inside work done on the rain days and I got some scaffolding planks built out on the covered deck as well.

Yesterday the scaffolding went up and I framed in the gable end of the porch roof.

Then I cut up some of my sweet Western Red Cedar 1X6 T&G that is going to be my soffit.

Oiled it up last night so it could be installed today.

Had to move it from upstairs to a sunny spot on the main floor as it didn't dry over night.

Might have been the temps. :whistling:

Ran into town for supplies while it was drying and got it put up when I got back to the lake.
