After a hiatus - waiting 6 weeks for electricians and electrical inspectors to coordinate a date to do the wiring and convert the temporary supply meter to a permanent one - I have been able to get on with lining the cabin.
Those doors are way too heavy for me to lift (neighbours carried them in for me) so I have arranged a couple of builder lads to hang the doors once I have the doorjambs finished inside and out.
The door to the en suite will be a sliding one.
Yes that is a small freezer. I always seem to cook way too much (the curse of the crock pot) and eat the same dish 6 days in a row. This will enable me to package extra servings and mix things up a bit.
At the moment it is 3/4 full of beef bones for Scully (and to boil up for stock) - again sourced from the Renwick butcher. Scully, who was in the van when I bought them, has already worked out that the humming white box is where the bones disappeared too.
Hopefully chewing on beef ribs it will be better for her than chewing on bits of bracken stalk which she is in the habit of doing. Bracken can apparently be toxic so I really would rather she didn't.
Steady progress despite the hiatus.
ReplyDeleteYes, fresh bracken can be nasty stuff ...but oddly dried bracken was used as bedding
I can avouch that bracken makes possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. There is plenty here so on our first visit to the site Bro and I slept outdoors on a pile of bracken. Marvellous stuff.
DeleteOh my. That is one very nice cabin.
ReplyDeleteWell done you on your excellent construction skills!
Middling construction skills. Some of my problem solving has had to be employed on how to cover the fact I was supplied with some pieces cut too short. Very annoying when I got all the corners tightly together and get up to ceiling level to discover the supposedly full length across pieces were 40mm short.
DeleteI have a plan and all I'm saying about that for now is "gingerbread".
DeleteLooking good. I believe eating bracken can cause internal bleeding amongst livestock.
ReplyDeletePigs can apparently tolerate a small amount of bracken root but it shouldn't be their exclusive diet. Scully has been hiding leftover bits of beef bone - then suddenly remembering she has a stash and dashing off to raid it. Very funny.

ReplyDeleteThe cabin is testament to your aptitude, fortitude, and gonnagetitdonitude!!!
Lucky Scully. If she's anything like Jade was, those frozen bones are treated like gold!!! Burying makes the treasure last longer...
In case you don't check back, re the stones, I refer you to last Thursday's post. YAM xx
It looks so welcoming and you seem to have plenty of insulating material, or is that something else? Lucky Scully, having her own (!!) freezer.
ReplyDeleteWOW- that is looking ready to live in and delicious! I love your cabin! The work involved is gobsmacking- you are a champion. How could you have ever achieved this monumental project without the help of Scully?
ReplyDeleteits 7.5m x 3.6metres. Monumental is something bigger (much bigger).
DeleteIt's looking good and coming along nicely. Scully is a smart dog.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that about bracken - Oscar eats it sometimes and now I think is someities isck afterwards. Note to avoid in future.
