Gus found time this weekend to make some smores.
The goal this weekend was to move the generator shack. This isn't something one can do alone so we invited our friends to come out to help us accomplish this feat. When we first bought the property seven years ago this month, we bought a 12 x 20 Costco shelter to store gear and sleep. Bryant built a wooden bed out of logs and OSB to fit the two twin mattresses we had. That was our sleeping set up for the summer, functional, sturdy, cheap and heavy. That fall, we started searching for winter shelter to use at the property and ended up with a 5th wheel travel trailer. Because we no longer needed a bed, Bryant transformed the bed into a generator shack by attaching longer legs, support boards, and roofing, which also added a few more pounds.
The generator shack worked fine for the years that we used the 5th wheel. But with the 5th wheel long gone the shack was too close to the cabin. Not only was it way too loud, but it wasn't an aesthetically pleasing sight when I made coffee in the morning and glanced out the window. Bryant pulled the stuff out from inside, and with two people per side, we managed to move the shack to the backside of the cabin. With the shack moved, we could enjoy dinner and a campfire.
Bryant brought the log furniture down a few weeks ago, but I didn't go with him, so it was a nice surprise for me to see everything all set up. I took some video footage of the inside.
