Weekend Update

The continuing saga of construction at the camp in Stratford, NY.

The brain trust discusses the tasks ahead while Homefries readies the fuel.

Consultants were consulted.

The warm room was pushed into place.

Insulation cut and ready.  It is colored this way because pink is the warmest color.

"Where's my contact?"

Doors in place...looking into the warm room.

The view from the warm room.

The plan was to go with two 30" solid doors, but George Lumber only had one 32" solid door available.  The "9 light" 32 was there so we took it.  Bud Lightnin' and Dock Doc widened the openings and hung the doors.  

An improvement, I think, to have some natural light entering the room.   Many construction weekends before, we moved the exterior window into position to shine directly into the warm room.  On purpose, of course.

"Now where did I put those staples?"

"They've gotta be around here somewhere..."

Gimp 1, half in the bag.

"Follow the pink fiber road!"

Buzz and Sam Adams proving they are "Sooo Big!"

Not so big and being punished by drooping pink stuff.

You probably don't want to be left hanging 
about what is going on here.

It's halftime at the insulation game.

You are looking at one awesome drywall screwer, resting after a job well done.

The troops relax after a long day.  Except for Homefries, working hard to fill bellies.
He also took some fine photos, included herein.

Where is Cut Boy/Hellfire ?  Why is he not at his usual incendiary post?  Unfortunately, both he and Nail Gun/Sinman were stricken with ailments that limited them to the back bedroom.  Though they were never seen, we must have provided them with large volumes of fluids, since all that we had seemed to disappear.

Part way there on Saturday night.  Isn't purple a lovely ceiling color?

A shot of the yellow quicker-picker-upper, ready to swing into action.

Load a sheet of sheetrock, wheel the quicker-picker-upper into position, crank it up to the ceiling and screw it home.  The Woodbutcher was a hero in absentia for providing it.  Even though he was not present, he helped us a great deal. 

There is one other who helps us without being there, but in his case, the help is because he is not present.

Moving the yet-to-be-applied drywall out of the way.

Close to finishing, things are lookin' up!

Recording the gin rummy score.

A talented fellow, he smokes with either hand.

Not wanting Mary to blunder into a construction site,
BooBoo put safety first.

But Mary is a very brave woman.

There is more than one use for the quicker picker upper.
It was decided that the second floor was the place to store the unused sheetrock.

I don't want to hurt his feelings, 
but Booboo is not a particularly good pole dancer.

A little break in the sun before hitting the road.

We got a huge amount of work done, and the scenery was terrific!

Fabulous!

Awesome!

Wonderful!
