Camp update

[puckster_guy]

 Hey guys, high time I made an update on the goings on @camp. It's coming along nicely. I now have a fully insulated except under the floors, camp. R30 in the cielings and R20 in the walls. The cielings and front main room are covered in a lap joint pine boards. I spent a week staining 2500 board feet of pine. I used a clear polyurethane to bring out the knots and grain. Looks mint.
My son is training as a carpenter in Barrie, in the spring I asked him to come up to camp with his boss to hang the pine and finish the insulation. I got them including a friend of my son's for three weeks. One week in June and two more in July/Aug. Well we got lots done. I started a new shift at work called the weekend warrior . I work 12 hours on Sat & Sun, plus 8 hours on Monday. Leaving Tuesday to Friday free. So I've been at camp almost every week plugging away getting stuff done and some fishing and R&R along the way. We got all the interior pine up in almost 2 weeks and got started on the exterior siding, also pine. Amid almost daily rain delays of around 2 hours daily we got 3/4 of the exterior cladding up. All the pine including flooring for the living area came from a mill in  Trout Creek, just south of North Bay, Northern Stable Supply. Their products and pricing were amazing, good people to work with.
A lot of work needs doing and i'll get it done with some more help from my son. I enjoyed working with him. Gonna plug away slowly and spend more time fishing this fall. I can work inside when it rains.

 It's taking all my time and money but well worth it. I hope to finish it all by early spring. Forgot to mention James Mullen at Kipawa Solar/Miwapani  installed a great system Almost as good as the power company. 4 panels and 6 gel batteries. I wanna double the batteries next summer. I made huge progress this year

Hodgey1,
I really think that your new boat needs a new cabin . If you got your wife to agree to the boat imagine how thrilled she will be with a new cabin to decorate.. just saying...
