I have not had this many back to back working days at the cabin in a while. I took a mini vacation down to the cabin to get things ready for a party we are having labor day weekend… and boy did we get things done…

We started off working on the kitchen… backsplash and one window trim done I triple sealed the countertop and installed the sink. I ran into a problem with the sink clips and was only able to get a couple of them installed… I ordered longer ones so next visit I should be good to go…

The drain was plumed but I still need some parts to get the outside hookup working… 

next we worked on the pole barn addition. first installed the beam then removed the old drip edge… roof rafters up next then purlins and finishing up with the soffit trim. now we just need to install the steel…

I cleaned the cabin up some… finishing up removing most of the tools to the tool shed and hanging some decorative features… looking Better Homes & Garden, Redneck edition good now 🙂 

We finished our work time building the composting toilet composting area… just built it out of some pallets we had around and some maple poles… should work for a while… we started it off with three buckets that needed emptying… then we sterilized the buckets with bleach… should be good to go now… 

It’s going to be a couple of weeks before the next update… we are picking up the steel roofing for the pole barn labor day weekend and having people over… so stay tuned for an update…
