Cabin Building
Awhile back, I mentioned that I might be helping someone building a small cabin and that call to help came back when I was absent from blogging for a week and a half. There were three of us and work started shortly after dawn when it was still cool and progressed sometimes for 12 hours days as we tried to get it erected in a timely manner. I think the picture above was taken on Day Two so you can see how fast we were going. Below is how it looked after Day Five.
As I write this, we are pausing for the Sabbath and will return tomorrow, now just two of us to work on a myriad of detail work to get it weather proof for the time being while electricians and plumbers do their thing. I'm guessing later this year I will be helping out with some of the interior work as well which should be a big more pleasant with a roof over our heads instead of the blazing sun.
Nice work! I would assume the electrical and plumbing would be pretty basic. Will it have a mini-split for heating/cooling? Will someone live here or just use it as a temporary residence?
ReplyDeleteYes, it will be fairly rustic in finishes. The owner is planning on putting in a heating/cooling system like what you would find in your standard motel room and it will be a home away from home for the owner.
DeleteI think you were adepts. 👍
ReplyDeleteI was manual labor!
DeleteLooks like excellent work, Ed. Congrats on a job well done and being a swell guy.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a pretty neat project and not something I get to do everyday.
DeleteWow! I can just see it as a time lapse video!
ReplyDeleteI think a time lapse video would have been neat to see and probably more gratifying to watch than to participate!
DeleteYou work quickly! So what will the purpose be for this cabin?
ReplyDeleteIt will just be a place for the owner to hole up on visits to their land instead of renting rooms a long ways away since it is very rural out there.
DeleteThat is an immense amount of work in a short time frame. No wonder you've been busy!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely used some muscles I hadn't been using!
DeleteHaving a team for a building project must be wonderful. It looks really good!
