get some more good weather to get what you need to before winter. We're root'n for you!

Here's hoping the weather holds out long enough to finish up for the year!! As you have said, you have fishing to do!!!

Drifter: Are you planning to complete the roof sheathing before winter or winter-over with the tarp as it is?

I want the roof sheathing and the gable sheathing finished before winter.

We need our cabin porn!!! About time for an update, isn't it? How did it go this weekend?

Drifter_016 · « **Reply #215 on:** Sep 27, 2015, 12:53 PM »

Another crappy weekend.
High winds again.
Stuck @ home. Hopefully I will get out mid week for the day.

Out my front door right now.

Not a total loss though as I installed my new revers lights on my rig.

The yellow things are my factory revers lights (got replacement 7 watt LEDs coming for them)

The back wall of my boat shelter is over 50' from the back of the truck.
Should have a much easier time backing up my trailers after dark now.

Bummer about the weather!! I hope you can get up there this week and get it buttoned up! Do you have someone who can help you finish up for the year, or are you determined to do it all by yourself?? Good luck, whatever the case may be!!!

ICE WANDERER · « **Reply #217 on:** Sep 28, 2015, 02:31 AM »

Man! you are so close to getting it buttoned up, I am X2 on hoping the weather cooperates for you to get up
there during the week! Good luck Buddy! We are all behind you!

That's going to be beautiful when you're done and worth every minute of your hard work.

Got tomorrow off and am heading to the cabin in the AM to finish the roof off if all goes well.

Still have the rear gable wall to finish.

The worst part of you getting it done and buttoned up is that we'll be deprived of our cabin porn until next year!!! But I hope you get it done also!!!

Made it out to the cabin today.
The weather was less than stellar but at least the winds weren't too bad.

Had to bundle up for the ride up the lake in the cold and snow.

Got the gable end sheathing done!!!

Also got some of the holes in the crawlspace closed up and some tarps up to help keep the snow out.

Next weekend it will be time to pull the dock for the winter.

mr.clean · « **Reply #230 on:** Oct 04, 2015, 02:01 AM »

Glad you were able to get the sheathing done Drifter.

We used to catch some big lakers up at Point Lake when Carter Air Service had a camp up there and big northerns out of the mouth of the Mackenzie River when I worked for Carter!! Great fishing!!!! Enjoy!!

Took the day off work today.
Got the dock pulled for the winter today.
I also started disassembling the shabby shack and cleaned up the site. Moved all of the lumber needed inside to it's location and other lumber is stored under the cabin. Moved all of the skids out of the way as well. I even managed 2 hours of fishing. Poked over a dozen poikes in that time. A couple of good ones in the 15# range as well as a couple of monsters lost. I know at least one was in the 20+ range.

Lavman · « **Reply #238 on:** Oct 07, 2015, 07:09 AM »

You had a great day by all accounts Drifter! Thanks for sharing man

OldSailor · « **Reply #239 on:** Oct 07, 2015, 07:30 AM »
