I felt like I was beaten like a rented mule when I was done.

Still not fully recovered.

 I actually got lucky enough to see the place in person a year and a half ago. Cleaned lake trout on the dock.

The ones we caught out front 🙂

It is way more amazing in person than on here. Unbelievable what he has done and where on his own.

What paneling did you get. Can't wait to see it

Bought through my local lumber place.

This is the stuff in Texas Honey Brown.

NAH, I want to have fun with it year round.

Will keep it there once I move there full time when I retire.

Lots of things going on at the cabin this summer.

Flooring underlay installed in the main area.

Some work done on the gable end of the porch roof.

Also started installing the interior paneling.

North wall in the front of the cabin is mostly done. This pic was part way through the install. It's up to the loft at this point.

South wall in the front of the cabin is also up to the loft so far. The blank spot will be drywall with tile over for the kitchen back splash. 

Was hoping to pull the dock this weekend but the weather had other ideas. Can't pull the dock when you can barely stand up on it because of the waves.  

This was last weekend at ye olde cabin. Fall colours in full effect. Unfortunately they are on the ground now. 

And at the launch on Wednesday morning when I went up to the cabin for the rest of the week.
