Bird's Eye View

My buddy came up to the cabin this weekend to help and brought his drone.  Here are some pics he took from up in the air.  Great perspective.

Unique Experience

It's not every day you catch a hummingbird.  This is the second one I've caught inside my cabin.  But it's the only one of which I have any photographic evidence.








Stairs (continued)

Stairs are pretty challenging if you have never done it before.  It's taken me a while to figure these out, but I think I've finally gotten it.  The trick was to turn it 90 degrees, butt it up against the main beam, and then tie into the floor at the correct spot.
















Inclement Weather

At 9,300 feet, weather can be harsh, even in May and June.

Stairs are on the way!

It's about time I figured out how to walk upstairs without climbing a ladder.  I've never built a set of stairs.  It's been a bit of trial and error, but we're getting there.  One thing of I've learned is that stringers really aren't that easy to design and build.

More Framing

Nearly done with the interior framing.  More pics. See if you can recognize the future secret passageway.

Second Floor Framing

As I said, the upstairs framing is a little tricky with the very short side walls.  I think I've figured it out.  Hopefully the inspector thinks so, too.
