A satisfying project by the water




Here's what I was up to in cottage country for a few weeks. This is the middle of construction, as you can see. Not quite ready for use.
Roof, siding, door, windows, a porch--now it's ready to go. The project was to help inlaws add a bit of space to their camp. We found a clearing in the woods and didn't cut down any trees to add the shed. That log on the saw horses turns up inside, in the final picture.


Not sure if it shows up in the photo: the stairs are cut from a log, a big white pine that blew down several years ago.

The view through the trees is of water in two directions! Very pleasant.
Here I am, posing on the finished project. That look is supposed to pride in a job (reasonably) well done, but I think I was too tired by then to show it.

The "ladder" to the top bunk is another fallen tree, with big pegs added, after this picture was taken, as steps up. The gun in the corner is a pellet gun, by the way, used on empty cans only.
