Ready to move in

Okay.  Not completely.  But the floors, walls and windows are in.  A lot of finishing work but the cabin is now better than the tent.  Tonight will be my first night staying on the cabin.

Also it has been raining so much that I now have a pond on my property.

Storage

Since my cabin used to be a storage shed, I need storage space.  So I got a giant waterproof bin.

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.

Coyote

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.…

Autumn rains

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

Maybe they shouldn’t be so nonchalant

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

Old shelves gone

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.
