The Pithole Paradise is starting to look lived in.
The generator is up and running
And these are my new windows
Please ignore the photos of the windows below. I have found some double pane, single hung new windows at 84 Lumber at a great price. One 3 by 3, two 3 by 2’s and one 2 by 2 for $55, $47 and $38 respectively. With the veterans discount I got them all, with screens, for under $200. Similar single pane windows would have been over $300 elsewhere. More pictures to come. I plan on making a greenhouse/hotbed with the old windows.
For those who don’t know what Pithole is I will be posting a history. In the meantime I have obtained windows for my cabin.
I was off a few days for a medical problem. Will be back out at the land tomorrow.
Hey you kids, get off my land! Just kidding. I’m an old hermit but not yet a grouchy old hermit. But I am well armed and former military so it is best not to sneak up on me.
Contacted the generator manufacturer All Power America, and they are shipping the part. Plus, the company selling it is refunding $100. Will soon be up and running.
Well, my plan to setup the generator was put on hold. After opening the box I found a motor mount was broken. So now I have to return it and get another. But I did do a short walk-through video of the property.
On these pages I, the Pithole Hermit, will document my adventures in developing a 3 acre lot near Pithole Pennsylvania. I just completed purchase of the land today. It is mostly wooded with a small clearing. A 12 x 16 shed is already on the property and I plan on converting this to a cabin. There is a 100 foot well with an electric pump, but not electricity to the site. No sewage or other utilities. I am starting with a 3500W generator, which I will set up tomorrow. That is all for now. Here are a few pictures of the site.
