Welcome back everyone! I hope you're having a great fall and a great thanksgiving today! I set my dad up on the blog tonight and he will hopefully catch you up on everything that has been happening with the cabin! A big thank you from me for following along this year! Have a great winter and very soon we will be back up north to finish up! Alex
The answer to the question posed on the last post of "will we hit water" is yes, there is more water then what we would need to run a house, but, it is not usable. It is to sandy and mucky to be filtered. Overall depth was 100' for this try. It is much to long of a story to tell in this forum. Let's just say, it was a long and frustrating 4 day process. Another attempt will need to be made next year. Jay spent the last 3 weeks there to get the exterior weather tight for winter, getting the milled lumber from our trees back from the kiln, staining and sealing all the installed exterior siding, some interior framing items, and stocking and hanging all the ceiling sheetrock (subs played a big part in some of those items). Pics are attached to show the sheetrock progress. Mary made her way out of there for her third time this year at the end of Sept. and Jay followed on Oct. 19th. Conventional wisdom and common practice for building "Up North", would be to close the place in with heat and work the interior during the winter. But, multiple events needed our attention back in Denver. The plan as of now is to return to the project sometime next March. Thanks again to the Denver crew that traveled North to help with the framing, all of the support and meals from the locals, Alex for his set up and maintaining this "blog", and many thanks to all of you that followed along from afar. Your interest, comments and compliments meant a great deal during this first phase. We will resume updates as soon as we can next spring.
Until then------Jay, Mary, Alex
