In the past two days I've made 4 trips to Menard's for cabin supplies. They have the pine paneling for the ceiling on sale for under $3/board again. I picked up another 400 feet which should be enough to complete over half of the ceiling. The problem isn't getting the lumber, it's finding the time to sand, stain, seal all this stuff before its installed. Also loaded the truck with a bunch of insulation for the ceiling. I really don't think its going to take much to heat the cabin even if I didn't insulate but this will ensure it stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The walls were insulated so it makes sense.
Finally got the kitchen sink drain hooked up. Spent time under the cabin running plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom drains. It was good being able to use the sink; after being under the house, washing off was a simple pleasure.
No help today, Nic was working and Robbie is on a family vacation. Tried to get Brandon out but he was also tied up. Summer seems to be on a downhill slide even as the temperature exceeds 90 again and it's still July. Maybe I just know there is still so much to do and so little time before cold weather.
Ever need help with no other volunteers, just let me know! heat is not a deterrent!
