Stopped by to check on our bunkie construction yesterday and it looks like it will be delayed too.
I don't think it will be delivered next week ............................... ?
This is the detail of the roof extension over the front of the bunkie. We wanted some protection for the front door and windows from the summer sun and winter snow. Maybe it should have been just a little wider????
The bunkie is built on cedar skids to keep it off the ground and prevent the bottom from rotting away as we enjoy the space over the years.
Our bunkie is in behind but this shot gives you some idea of the exterior covering used on the walls.
We have spent the last few afternoons in the shade of the forest preparing the site for the bunkie. Mary and Ben are using trees we've cut to help stabilize the bank of pit-run we are using for the base.
No shortage of logs here so we've put them to good use.
In the morning, when it's cool, we work on the gable ends or steel siding.
After lunch Mary and Ben discuss fishing and the best lakes and spots to find the best fish. Sorry, we can't share that information.
Today (Saturday) Ben was here until 11:30. We worked on getting the pad for the bunkie level and stabilized. I expect the bunkie to be delivered the week of the 30th. just in time for the Bancroft "Craft and Gem" show.
Thanks for stopping by and bring your fishing pole when you come.
Update 8:30 pm
Ben just stopped by to show us the fish he caught.
A proud fisherman ..................................
and a proud brother. Ben with his sister. She was right at home here walking all around checking our property.
It was great to have a visit and see everyone.
