Yes, it may look like a piece of dreck . . . because that's what it is! However, a more solidly built piece of dreck you will not find anywhere. A few afternoons ago the light was so nice that I wandered on over (Ev having hightailed it to Las Vegas for a week to avoid the bitter, bitter cold and attend his builders' conference) to take a photo, certain that the beautiful light would make the cabin look at least halfway habitable.
HA!
However, the roof is all on, and the inside is looking lots more spacious.
All the cross braces will be taken out when the loft beam goes across; then Ev will put in the floor joists for the loft. That oughtta keep the old thing hanging together. He wants to put in the floor as well, which is okay I guess. Then the shingles and skylight go on. That dark triangle at the far end is the old roof that still hasn't been taken down yet--with only about 2 1/2 more feet and a 10" beam around the top of the wall, there seems to be a whole lot more space.
There better be; with the economy going the way it is I may have to live here sooner than anticipated--with an outhouse!!!
At this point I've just got to have faith that the old shack will come together soon. Perhaps Ev will be back this week--it's going to be in the 30s and 40s so I will crack the whip . . .
