We picked up a shower basin and plumbing fittings for the bathroom of Denny today and will get a start on that tomorrow. After the bathroom, we'll just have to install the stove and gas lights and add some furniture.
We also picked up enough pine to do the walls and ceiling of the loft on the Island. We'll do the whole ceiling and the fireplace wall eventually, but we won't have time to get everything done before the Island gets busy for the season. (We're not covering the log walls, mind you; just the unfinished walls in the peaks.) We also purchased subflooring and new oak for the loft floor, and we're building a new front door. The existing door has charm, but it's also about a foot out of square, and its latch is a death trap for unsuspecting shoulders and elbows (depending on how tall you are). Also in the Island's future is a bathroom with a new tile shower similar to the one we're building in Denny (once we see how Denny's turns out). The Island will be an ongoing project, but it'll be good to get a start on it this week. As always, I'll post pictures as cool things happen.
Togue is going to be this year's big news. The far wall is slowly rotting because it sits directly on the ground, so we're going to jack the entire cabin, add new sills where needed, replace the floors in the living room and fourth bedroom, take out the old acoustic tile, and add pine to the newly-peaked ceilings. I'm also hoping that one of our guys can perform some much-need rehabilitation on the fireplace and stone chimney.
In solar news, this afternoon turned out beautiful after a cloudy morning. We pulled in 13.5 kWh, and it probably would have been more if our demand could have kept up with what the sun gave us.
