Work on my little cabin has commenced, through the heat and mosquitoes progress will be made. Ready to float down river ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/cavscoutmom/8DAC6D67-8564-414F-B131-05F9C82D90F7-29657-000013DBF836E2AD_zps6bc58d17.jpg) Some stuff came in by wheeler ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/cavscoutmom/990F2FB6-B021-4BD6-8ED7-774293748166-29657-000013DB846E492B_zpsc3a87531.jpg) Brush and a few trees need removing ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/cavscoutmom/BDB34BD6-549D-48D8-8CBF-883CBC3DE96D-29657-000013DB552FB431_zps0706da69.jpg) Only stumbled upon 3 hornets nest so far, killed a billion bugs and almost misplaced my pruners in the forest floor ( good thing I wrapped pink duct tape on the handle). The cabin will be 12 x 16 with a shed roof and much glass in the front. Dog yard will be close by and easily visible from inside.

Best of luck, Elf. As said above, keep us informed and take a few pictures of progress.

Please take pictures of the process. Whatever it looks like, you are living many a mans dream!

The yellow thing you made note of is to try to make it so the dishes don't slide off the counter. But first I gotta find the instructions for the bugger, for some reason there are little bubbles inside of the dang thing

I've found a couple of light taps with a hammer will usually let the air out of those things, they're lot less frustrating to use after that.

Please be sure the shed roof is oriented to NOT dump snow on the steps or any where else foot traffic is required. Ask me how I know.

A little more progress... ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b144/cavscoutmom/CBC05F1B-842E-42F6-A928-3AC747CAA0D7-38038-000019D41E6F192B_zpsc5fb604d.jpg) Landed a killer deal on windows through Craigslist. Got 6 brand new never out of the box double pane tilt windows for $10 a piece. Then found some new tall skinny ones at another sale. All in all 17 windows for a killer price.
