Emily C Cabin Window and Door

Window cutout:

 

 

Planed the edges of the chainsaw milled boards:

Got some chinking done too.

 

The boulder field behind the cabin has a lot of raspberry bushes. I was a little late to pick them as the frost has gotten them already.

I wasn't too happy with the roof pitch and low headroom in the cabin so last weekend I rebuilt the gables to steepen the roof. It was a lot of work but I like it a lot better now. It also allowed me to make the doorway taller. I had to take off the door frame lumber and decided to make some new boards with the chainsaw instead of carrying in additional lumber for it. It takes about an hour to saw a short log this way. There are hundreds of dead, dry lodgepole pine trees around so it is easy to get logs.

Summer Vacation

Here are some pics from Brandon's and my visit to Montana in July

 

 

 



We went camping at Holland Lake in Seeley Swan Valley

 We (all five of us, 3 people and 2 dogs) slept in the tent

very comfortably I might add

We took the "sheep wagon" and used it for storage and for a dressing room at times

Fred was put in time out :)

 Brandon was pooped out after all the festivities
