Walleye72 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Is there a road that goes to your cabin or do you boat in? Looking great by the way.
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report 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 1, 2015 Author Report Posted August 1, 2015 When does the helo pad get done Dave? You'll have to use the one a mile or so away Brian. It's @ the hydro plant!!
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Posted August 1, 2015 Dinner is fresh burbot tonight!!! My neighbour brought it over yesterday. Got em in his net.
Steve Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 thank you very much for sharing your fantastic journey with us. your skill and determination, with a side of rum, is fun to watch :)
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report 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!!
wormdunker Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Awesome Dave! Keep the reports & pix coming.
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Posted August 2, 2015 The walls are all in place!!!!! Have to finish off the top plates install a beam in the front wall and then build my scaffolding so I can install the ridge board and rafters.
akaShag Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 Holy smackers man, you work faster than most full construction crews!!!!! Doug
Steve Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 that's cause drifter is sole member of his one man union :)
misfish Posted August 2, 2015 Report Posted August 2, 2015 that's cause drifter is sole member of his one man union :) I dont see him as a union kinda guy. He works to hard.
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Posted August 2, 2015 I dont see him as a union kinda guy. He works to hard. Actually I am a member of the union of Northern Workers. No kidding, my gubermint job is unionized.
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report 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.
akaShag Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 I wish I had hired you to build my hunt camp............................. .................which started construction in the spring of 2014 and is still not quite done.................
misfish Posted August 4, 2015 Report Posted August 4, 2015 I wish I had hired you to build my hunt camp............................. .................which started construction in the spring of 2014 and is still not quite done................. Im watching his every move. You need a hand finishing it up Doug. Give a ring, or use the blow horn. Im a bit aways from you. Thats some handy work there Dave.
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Posted August 5, 2015 Took a pic from the lake as I was heading in to town this morning. Looks pretty good up there EH!!!
Ralph Field Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Looking Great ! You will never be called lazy.
mr blizzard Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Looking Great ! You will never be called lazy. never call him lazy but calling him slacker has not hurt me so far lol as said before Dave is one interesting individual, building his cabin has defied my high school law of physics, he is ok
wormdunker Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 I like your rolling scaffold - looks awesome! How far is it to town from your cabin for materials?
solopaddler Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Took a pic from the lake as I was heading in to town this morning. Looks pretty good up there EH!!! Looks awesome bud! Will there be more and larger windows facing the lake?
