Walleye72 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Is there a road that goes to your cabin or do you boat in? Looking great by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Is there a road that goes to your cabin or do you boat in? Looking great by the way. Boat in during the summer and drive in or snowmobile in the winter. There is a winter road to the hydro plant not too far from me. It goes right past my place.

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Got 1/2 the front wall up and the other 1/2 almost ready to go. Just need to cover my window openings and install my last temporary window. In case you're wondering those front windows are going to be 5'X8'!! No use having a wicked view if you can't see it!!

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Managed to get most of my front wall beam built but started running low on screws so I switched over to working on my scaffolding as I wanted it at least partially built today. Got the beam 3/4 done and the scaffolding about 1/2 done. It even has good locking casters on it to move it around the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
