We spent day two, three and four of the four day weekend working at the property. Now that it has stopped snowing it is time to get back to work. It took the better part of the first day to get our bearings and with the temperatures all of the sudden being in the 70's we were just a bit warm.
First we ~ and by we I mean the young men that are not afraid of heights ~ took off the first layer of tar paper and replaced it with Bituthene waterproof membrane. The cabin wintered over with the tar paper for protection.
I got to work on the back side of the cabin near the driveway to attach pressure treated plywood and ramp up the dirt so that the rain and snow melt will not run under the cabin, but instead be drained away to each side.
The oldest son waiting for the first panel of tin to be cut, pre-drilled and handed up. Hot dude on a black tar roof.
Go TEAM US! First panel of 16 installed! The brothers work well together and both did an OUTSTANDING job!
Now that we know it fits properly, Kenny gets to work getting the other panels trimmed and pre-drilled.
I also get to be the camp cook. Tonight's supper roasted potatoes and grilled chicken!
Hooray for a day well spent! Hard work and a great supper at the end of the day! First of many great days to come up to the property working on building a home.
