Cabin Addition

SwampDonkey · July 03, 2011, 06:10:37 AM

Nice job MM.

Now is that to become the "man cave" on that end of the camp? ;D Probably not eh? ;)

Larry · July 03, 2011, 07:26:38 AM

That's a great looking addition. The builder got r done.

LOGDOG · July 03, 2011, 09:13:13 AM

That's what I'd call a seamless addition. Looks like it was built right along with the rest of the house.

Does your cabin sit on a ridge? Looks like you have a nice view out the back ... like maybe a valley falls out below you or something?

Thanks, yes, I'm on probably the highest elevation on my place. It's rolling hills country about like where you live.

Glad to see it is done. What's the next project? Thanks for the nice thread. ;D

Magicman · July 05, 2011, 04:16:26 PM

Oh no, it's not complete. Only the outside of the front of the Addition. I still have the fascia, etc. on the North and West sides plus all of the interior. I just hope to have it completed by the end of this year. ;D

Great job!

I don't know how you can get so much done in that heat. I'd be sippin' sweet tea under the shade of the tree all day. :

Great Job MM.

Looking forward to seeing in completed. I wish I had that kind of Drive, skill, and motivation.

Ron Scott · July 12, 2011, 06:09:25 PM

Great job! Especially being done alone without much help.

Magicman · July 12, 2011, 08:35:31 PM

Thanks, I'm at a standstill now. The sawmill jobs caught up with me big time.

It is bad when what you gotta do interferes with what you wanna do. :-\

Magicman · July 29, 2011, 05:58:15 PM

I had hoped that by now I could get back on this project. It looks like mid September will be my earliest possible time to do any work, and I seriously doubt then. Saw jobs are stacked up, plus the last two weeks in October my Son and I will be in Colorado.

I can quit shaving after the Pig Roast.

SwampDonkey · July 29, 2011, 07:12:53 PM

Your winters are a lot milder than here with all them daffodils poking up in January down there. So you've got all kinds of time whenever your free and not have to worry about the biting cold. ;D

Magicman · September 04, 2011, 10:09:30 PM

I finally was able to get a bit more done. I hauled the remainder of the 1X6 & 1X8 lumber to the site and finish installing my facia boards. No pictures of the facia because of tropical storm "Lee".

The last load of lumber.

redbeard · September 04, 2011, 11:15:09 PM

Hope the storm is not a event and causes no damages. You guys on the east side have had enough super storm events this year that's for sure. What model is your John Deere? looks alot like my 2240 but my nose is different.

Magicman · September 05, 2011, 08:34:34 AM

That old 1530 is between '70-'73. I guess that I should get the serial# and find out someday. ;D

clww · September 05, 2011, 02:40:12 PM

MM-are you loading the tractor onto the trailer one piece at a time? ;)

NAH he ran out of straps and is hoping it will hold down the boards. :D

SwampDonkey · September 05, 2011, 07:37:23 PM

Well, I'm thinking more like it was that tire that went flat twice in the last couple weeks. And maybe it's in transit to or from the shop. ;)

Magicman · December 22, 2011, 09:07:49 PM

Finally I was able go get some more interior work done. I have been at a standstill since the first of July.

Anyway, I completed my ceiling sheeting. This is 1X6's that the actual ceiling will nail to. I will now prepare my ceiling material and start nailing it up.

The only folks that know what the ceiling will actually be are the members that attended the Chickin Crispin. I'll post pictures as I progress. ;D
