Bedroom

The texture and paint are done and the bed has been moved in!  The walls are a little darker and a little more brown than we were shooting for, but we like it enough to leave it.  I also got the electrical done except for the ceiling fan since we have not picked one out yet.  But, the 1/2 hots work so we do have light in there.

Dock

Today was another very big day.  I found a guy on Craig's List that was selling his old approach and gangway.  Jeremy helped me pick this one up north of Cusick, drag it down to Twin Lakes and set it up today.  I need to get some decking for the gangway and make a few adjustments, but this thing is in really good shape and it looks like it will work out very well.

Bedroom

I made a quick trip up to the cabin yesterday after work and got the 2 outside corners installed.  Since I used a setting type mud on them, I went ahead and put the first coat to fill the gap on each side as well.  So now, everything is taped and a first coat has been applied to the flats as well as the outside corners.  With any luck we will have it ready for texture and paint early next week.

Over the weekend, Kelly helped me finish hanging the drywall in our bedroom closet.  We also got the flats taped throughout the whole room.  Last night after work I went up and got the inside corners all taped.  The last thing before we start the finish work is the pair of 45 degree outside corners.  I think we will use bullnose to make the inside of the cabin look a little more modern.

Bathroom

It has started to get a little old having only 1 source of running water in the cabin, the bathtub.  We are getting tired of washing dishes, brushing our teeth and filling drinking cups all in the bathtub.  So I decided to take a break on the bedroom and wrap up the bathroom sink.  All that is left now is to float the grout in the back splash and hook up the drain.  It won't be long!

Bedroom

Kelly and the girls came up and helped with the drywall tonight.  We finished the bedroom itself and got the first couple pieces hung in the closet.  The girls were really excited they could help.  They held the partial sheets so they didn't move while mommy cut them and they handed me screws when I needed them.  We make a pretty good team, but don't look for us to go pro.

Bedroom

I got some more drywall hung after work yesterday.  I finished the lake side wall as well as the wall with the window out to the deck.  I started on the outside of the closet wall but I only got 1 sheet hung.  So I still have inside the closet and around the entry door and the closet door to finish.  I only have 2 sheets left, so I won't be able to finish it tonight.

Bedroom

Today, we installed an automatic gable fan and hung the drywall on the ceiling as well as the east and the half of the south wall.  We still have the west and north walls as well as the closet.  But the walls are going much faster than the ceiling.  As hot as it was today, we didn't get done what we wanted.  But the water sure felt nice. :)

Bedroom

We got the insulation in the bedroom walls.  We also rolled out some radiant barrier along the under side of the trusses to allow for an air gap after we do the blow in insulation in the attic.  Since the trusses are not evenly spaced, we couldn't use the ready made ones.  Although this picture does not show it, we also put up a vapor barrier.

Bedroom

Tonight after work I got the electrical for the bedroom roughed in.  I did 1/2 hot outlets, 4 of them and an overhead light in the middle of the room.  I also sprayed foam to fill the cracks in the siding of the south facing wall.  I didn't want to put insulation in there without filling those gaps for fear that water would get in and ruin it.  We will eventually replace the siding, but not this year.
