Since August 22nd I have made 3 straight weekends out to the ranch! We have made much progress.
The weekend of the 22nd My wife and our friends Kyle and Amy came out with me. Kyle and I went on Friday afternoon and the girls were to meet us Saturday morning. On Friday Kyle and I finished the walls in the Loft. On Saturday morning we got the loft windows trimmed out. When the girls arrived they stained the kitchen Cabinets. After that we enjoyed the rest of the weekend just hanging out!
The weekend of August 29th Andy and I went out. We were able to get 1/2 of the ceiling tin installed and the kitchen counter tops installed. We also got the kitchen back splash installed. We pre cut the ceiling tin for the loft. The panels that we used for the ceiling were 16ft long and getting them installed with only 2 people in 14ft tall open living room was very difficult, but we get it done.
Last weekend my wife and I went back. She and I were able to get the remaining ceiling panels installed, and trimmed out the walls along the ceiling and floors. Next we installed the antler chandelier in the living room. I converted it to 12v and connected it the the solar array. It turned out to be way to bright with all 6 bulbs, we ended up unscrewing 3 of them so only 3 illuminate with plenty of light. Next we hung the various mounts I brought from home to decorate the walls. The wife did a great job arranging them, it looks spectacular! Next we mounted the fire alarm, fire extinguisher and the Heater.
We are officially ready for flooring in the cabin!!!!
Work has also began on the deck extension project. My neighbors guys have welded up the new deck and put up the porch roof rafters. this wee they should have that completed (I will just need to install the deck boards and railing) They are also going to skin 3 sides of the Saloon, leaving the front open for me to make the Saloon facade when I am ready. In the mean time it will act as a garage for the can-am and 4 wheeler.
