Hammering door to make it close better
Well it’s the time of year again, spring is here and all 3 owners are going to the cabin/shack to see how the Winter and theives treated it. The snow is long gone since it’s April. It snowed last night and the temps here have been -15 colder than normal. So it’s a good thing we got this wood stove out of Aaron’s basement since it’s going to be really cold at night. It was used as a trash burner and has some sweet art deco style, says it’s from Sears.
You may have seen from my last cabin post that we installed the chimney but our old stove was too badly damaged to use again. On closer inspection it was cracked in 4 places. So I think we’ll be getting it installed asap we get there on Friday since we don’t want to freeze our asses off!
Things to do this weekend:
- Install wood stove
- chop wood
- wire light
- have fun
- install some insulation
- put up some paneling
- have fun
This week has been a great Craigslist week. Last week I scored some free spruce and cedar floor boards that we’re going to use as interior paneling or siding. It was a big score all we had to do was take it down out of and old house from the 50′s. It was a lot of labor since we had to take it down, take out the nails, then cut off the damaged tongues but well worth it as we couldn’t afford paneling otherwise. I also scored 3 sheets of cement board to use as a heat shield. I love me some craigslist.
Wish me luck, I’ll post the fruits of our labor.
