Work

The floor for the new Loo is screwed down and framed up and ready do me to start on the walls tomorrow.

Potty house

Resting.

Getting some needed rest this weekend. Glad I'm in town in an air-conditioned house it was 112° today. Will be back out Tuesday a.m. getting to work on the new two whole composting Lou. Also will start some shelf making inside the new cabin. Have been doing pretty good and making some decent progress. The weather has been very helpful. Only a couple super hot days so far. And 1 mild rainshower in the last two weeks. My physical health has deteriorated and my right shoulder and arm is nearly useless therefore everything I do takes a lot longer than I planned. I will continue because I am one stubborn old fat bastard. May all of you have a great coming week I may not post at all because it looks like the weather will be good which means 16 hour days for me. Of course my 16 hour days would be a healthy young man's three hour day. Oh well look good and have fun bye

Skills

What non-powered tool skills have you mastered??

I'm learning the art of ax and machete sharpening and trying to get better at knife sharpening.

Murphy

Funny how so many things can go wacky at the same time , flat tires , run out of propane in 3 bottles at the same time. I had it all covered but it still cuts back on progress.

When U thing you are fully prepared ; look again.

Tires too

Tires

I have had 4 flats in 33 days. 1 was a total loss. The first tire got plugged then patched then plugged again. The second was just a patch job. This ha stretched me a bit but I actually had the needed tools and plug kits. It did eat a lot of precious time.

Beds

Working today

Did some priming and some painting . Now to drive a few screws

Picture

Hi

Busy working and then trying to recover between bouts of working. I have had some success this week I have gotten 90% of the trimming done inside. The rest has to wait until I run wires. Today I framed a divider wall to separate the sleeping section from the kitchen dining room section. Just got back from the store with more paint and more lumber. I am sick of painting. Tomorrow I will hang the plywood on that divider wall at least on the sleeping side then I will start constructing bunkbeds. I will also prime lumber for the other set of bunk beds. Have a great night.

Hi dere

Got the second coat of sealer on the floor. Stacked some firewood and secured the deer hanger. Hung up a Clovis for the pulley we will use to re- stand the deer stand/ shed. It blew over this past winter. Helped cleaning job on one of the campers. Much more to do there. Painted the baseboards for the cabin. Tomorrow I will cut and prime some more of my custom trim boards.

Today

Today was a maintenance day we emptied to composting toilet containers we moved a large shelf unit with Put down plywood flooring got first coat of waterproofing on it. We also cleaned out the fireplace holy crap. Moved nine large bags of blankets sheets and winter clothes to the new cabin actually Lucy's camper for temporary storage.

Progress

I folks I apologize for not posting sooner. I have been trying to stay busy getting all my stuff done. I have made some progress and the deer hanger is now back up it has to be secured. Today I am working on screwing down the plywood on the floor that's a tedious task but it will be done today. The entire inside has been painted the ceiling trim has been put up. I still need to trim the corners hang a door and trim both doors. Hopefully that will help happened this week. You all have a great week thank you bye PS I have had help from brother Jay for couple days last weekend and our answer to prayer Larry shows up three or four days almost every week this has been a major help both of these gentlemen with the heavy stuff.

Flat

The truck fell off the jack.

Tools.

I am an idiot for not having a good High lift jack and a good mechanical " screw" jack on hand. 

Lesson learned.

I have been pretty much layed up since the flat tire on Saturday. I finished the plug and replace the spare today. 

I am buying some old fashioned mechanical jacks.

Lights

As I relax this weekend. I've been thinking about lighting requirements. I will use LED lighting because of the low energy input requirement. Now to discover a good source of affordable lights. 

That sounds like work so I'm going to go take a nap.

Bust

That got you attention; I am just plain tired today. Lots of sore joints and muscles. Got a coat of pain on the ceiling and some of the trim painted as well. Trying to do little clean up chores to jus chill for the rest of the day.

Painting

The inside is now primed including all the trim boards. Tomorrow starts the ceiling painting, and the trim boards. I finished the roof work on the camper re- roof project. A friend has loaned us a generator so batteries are charged . The weather last night and today was amazing.
