I saw it a year ago, and then it looked very good.  I can't wait to see it when finished.

[puckster_guy]

TY guys. That's most appreciated. Almost there. Gonna relax the rest of the year and pick it up next year again and finish. Much landscaping to do but that can wait till I retire. If your in the area drop by for a beer and a chin wag.

Ihat was just a test. Looking for ways to upload images

[smitty55]

Yea that didn't work. I suggest you join imgur, it works quite well. Drag and drop pics to upload. Click on pic, click on BBCode which will copy it , then paste in your post.
Cheers

I think I might have to. They ask for a phone number and I don't wanna give it out randomly. I just changed mine recently because of getting too many telemarketers calling. Upto 5 a day. Since I got my new number about 6 weeks ago. I haven't gotten any yet. My last number I had for close to 10 yrs and was everywhere.

OK, finally back in business pic wise that is. I had a major spurt of activity a couple of years ago when I dumped about $20k in to the construction. I got 3/4 of the exterior covered. The front still isn't done, the materials for that is under the camp so that's my priority this summer. 80% of the interior got done at that time too. Last year and the one before that work was hit and miss as money came available. I got two bedroom floors covered with a nice looking laminate flooring with a third room waiting to get done. Last spring I bought a load of t&g pine and covered all the bedroom ceilings and the hallway. I had some left over so I covered one wall in the third bedroom with it. Man that looks good. I already covered the walls in the other two bedrooms with paneling looking at it after I hung that wall in pine. I'm removing it and replacing it with the t&g pine. Last time I was up I hung a couple of ceiling fans in the hallway and a bedroom and boy do they look good. One snag in the hallway is that the blades hit the wall so I decided to trim them down (not done yet.) and make them fit. Last spring I installed an on demand propane hot water heater. What a blessing to have running hot water for the first time. Now I can shower and do dishes without a big production.
Electrical is almost done a couple of outlets to install and I'm good to go. I would like to double the number of batteries from 6 to 12 but thats not a priority right now. I bought a full size used electric refrigerator as an experiment to see how my system would cope with it.I got it at a used appliance store and it's an older standard unit. I have been running a bar fridge just fine with no issues. I found with the full size one I was good for power as long as it was sunny most of the day. On cloudy or rainy days I found myself running the genny for several hours to top up the batteries. There's not enough juice to run it in the spring or fall when we don't get a lot of sun but my propane fridge can be used for those days. The electric saved my buying a lot of propane over the summer. Time to look for a more efficient fridge.
As for furnishings it's still minimalistic. No bedroom furniture or beds I'm sleeping on air mattresses on the floor, reminds me of my camping days lol. A couch in the living room, kitchen table and computer station rounds up furnishings for now. As you guys know I retired in the spring so my money supply dried up. I had hoped to work thru the winter as a contractor in the aviation biz where I worked but that work has dried up. It's a feast or famine biz so I'll get work where I can to finish up and hopefully replace my old boat. Here's a few pics to show how far I got...
