Category Archives: Off-the-grid

Update: really fast delivery.  Here’s the real thing.

I decided to go with a tiny wood stove instead of propane.  Really get off the grid.  On order

Plus I’m moving my firewall from my house.  Ceramic tiles will be reinstalled after mounting.

One corner and floor panels in.  Floor panels not yet secured.

…

Started installing insulation and the first panel of drywall.

…

Rain quit long enough to do some cabin wrapping.

Just saw a huge coyote on the road outside my camp.  Couldn’t get a picture.  I’ll be sure to keep my camera ready for the next time.…

With the Autumn rains here I put up a tarp for temporary storage.

And covered my building materials.

These deer sure didn’t care I was there.  And archery season opens Saturday.

…

I removed the shelves.

The OSB was in bad shape.

But the yards of 1 x 4s and 2 x 4s will come in handy.

Taking some time off while my daughter is back home visiting from Chicago.  Got to spend today target shooting with her.  We practiced with her Ruger .380 LCP and Kahr 9mm.  She also shot her bows and the Marlin .22.  I sighted in my 30-06.  Beautiful day at Pithole Paradise.

With all due respect to DuPont Tyvek I have gone with Prime Wrap for 1/3 the price.

Also got lots of insulating board from my Uncle Bob.
