1) New steel roof on the cabin
2) New 10 x 19 shed was to be built
3) Garden was to be fenced and planted
Like I've said - double the budget and triple the time allowed! Hooboy! My garden....posts are in and my 225 strawberry plants are on life support! I did manage to get 12 tomato plants, 6 basil plants and 6 pepper plants in the ground though. The shed project....well....I'll leave that for another post!
Big Daddy and Papa Bob finished the steel roof during the worst bout of black flies I have ever seen! The bugs were freakin horrendous and the men were real troopers!!!
The men got a counter/sink working for me and put up a couple of cupboards. Hey Penny, don't get excited - still no running water - my sink drains into a bucket! lol
They also got my well working - oh joy!!!!
They tore out the old stairs (a.k.a. death ladder). You can see the angle it was on. They moved the door to the bathroom. Then made some new steps with a landing. My freebie buckets store perfectly under it! hehe Good job fellas!

The girls went riding - bringing buckets of sand up to the cabin.
.....so I could make a safe fire pit.
The inside of the cabin is coming along.....

Remind me to never mess with you! The roof looks great! Just love the sound of the rain on a tin roof!

Oh, a metal roof-lucky you! We want one so the snows clear off better. Maybe next year...sigh!
ReplyDeleteSure looks good.
Hey there Jim! I know, I just love how the roof turned out too! Oh and btw, the story behind Big Daddy's black eye is even funnier than the prospect of me poppin him a good one...unfortunately, I've been sworn to secrecy. hehehe
