Title: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC related Post by babyhog on 08/08/11 at 10:05:43 I'm so proud, I had to share with my savage friends. As some of you may know, my husband and I are building a little cabin in the woods. Its a slow process, and I'm trying to be as economical as possible, but I'm so happy with our latest project. Trying to get the kitchen done, and I haven't liked any of the countertops that Lowes or Home Depot had in stock and certainly ain't gonna have them do something custom, so we decided to make our own. To back up a little, we built a loft above the kitchen/bathroom end and used some cedar beams that had been given to my husband. We also used hardwood flooring in the kitchen that had been given to my husband. I refinished some cabinets that he took out of an old house that his company was demolishing. We did buy an apartment sized gas stove which we converted to propane. Its the cutest little thing you ever did see, and bakes a fabulous pan of biscuits! Anyway, back to countertops. We found some beautiful cedar boards at Lowes that I thought would look lovely. So we cut the shape from plywood and attached the cedar boards. I used a router to round the edges, and we then poured this bar-top epoxy resin glaze stuff ($68 a gallon!) over it. Still have to cut the sink hole (which is gonna break my heart to cut into this thing, but I'll use the cut-out for something!) and have one more coat to add this evening to top it off. But I think its gonna be awesome! Pictures don't do it justice. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001316.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001346.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001337.jpg |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by Sunchasers on 08/08/11 at 10:41:41 +1 ! Helped a buddy do something similar for his daughters cabin. Built a large dining room table top from old barn wood and used the same epoxy stuff. Works great! :) |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by Boule’tard on 08/08/11 at 11:20:35 That looks fantastic! I think I will do something like that, instead of trying to refurb my kitchen counter (4" bathroom tile) which has no chance of ever looking that good. When you get the sink hole cut out, maybe the removed piece can serve as a mount for some big ol' antlers from a 10pt buck you or your husband may have bagged, the perfect cabin accessory. ;) |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/08/11 at 19:16:32 Thanks everybody. We put another coat on it tonight but its hard to link pics from my phone so I'll add some tomorrow. There are a couple minor spots that might need touched up in a day or so, but I'm pleased. We got the sink hole cut out with no problem. Woohoo lol. Boule - I love the idea of using the cutout to mount some antlers. Thanks! Just might do that. My sister-in-law wants a cutting board out of it lol. Also considering a small table. We'll see.... Thumperclone, that's a hilarious story. And no keys required, its an expensive button combination lock (another work/salvaged freebie lol) so it will be easier to let friends borrow, if that ever happens lol. Then we can always change the combo if someone screws up like that! What a weenie. Haha |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/08/11 at 22:17:57 Id never use that for a cutting board. Th finish would wind up in the food, little bit at a time.. BUy a cuting board & if theres a finish on it, scrape the finish off, get down to raw wood, then apply Food Grade Mineral Oil every week,. for a few weeks, then once a month, then after a few months, start skipping monthly applications. etc, etc.. |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by randyradio on 08/09/11 at 13:15:53 Wow Baggyhog, that's suped. And thinking about them biscuits and the roads and hills around there in WV and you all take adoptions>?> BTw I want to a motorcycle rally in Canaan Valley over a decade ago and each evening wheile we drank berers and kicked tires outside 4 or 5 skunks would bop on outta the woods and we'd pour em some beer into bottle caps and they drank up. Never drank with skunks before but we sure didn' wanna make em mad. Salute! on your projects there. Keep posting em. Randy in south hot GA |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by scroop on 08/09/11 at 15:54:01 I'm with Bot - beer and buscuits (without the skunks)! Sure sounds like you got a piece of the good life there, Piglet. I'm glad for you. :) |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by joscswny on 08/16/11 at 13:37:14 Is that like Skunked ;D Beer? |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/16/11 at 17:50:57 Always plenty of beer in my camp, but none skunky! Well, we got the countertops installed and the cabinets put back together. I had taken all the hardware off to refinish the cabinets, so putting it all back on and reassembling all the doors and drawers was a job in itself. Overall I am still happy with everything. The colors are not perfect match, but what they hey. Who cares, right? lol Oh, I almost forgot... I found the wall tile on clearance at Lowe's or Home Depot (can't remember which), bought all they had left for 4 cents each! They are 4x4 peel-n-stick tiles that look like stone. And boy are they sticky! darn-near impossible to pull off if you place it wrong. Different kind of stick tile too, you actually grout them like you do with ceramic tile. So I stuck them on Saturday and grouted them Sunday. Was a little worried about how they were gonna look, but I think it turned out just peachy. Now to put the sink in, paint, and trim, and my kitchen is in good shape. Whatcha think? http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001489.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001488.jpg |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/17/11 at 07:27:55 Might just have to have an actual house warming bash. Hadn't really thought about it LOL. If you're ever in the neighborhood, look me up! Yes Bill, I already have lost alot of the energy I used to have. Hopefully we will get this place done before I lose it all! ;) |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by Boule’tard on 08/17/11 at 08:37:03 That's a camp? :o Geesh it looks nicer than my house. Probably more up to code too, if yall put a GFCI outlet by the sink. Well done! |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/17/11 at 09:40:30 Haha, yes its a nice camp. Its just all new and clean right now. Ok, I'll show a few more, so you can see its not all ritzy. We're using almost entirely hand-me-down stuff. Bought the stove new, but its apartment sized, and got it at the scratch-n-dent place cheap. Friend gave us a fridge. Hubby picking up stuff all the time. Oh, we also frequent the Habitat for Humaity Re-Store, where they sell lots of donated items. Got the lazy-susan there for like $30. Its an oldie but goodie. Metal/copper shelves in it. They were nasty (and I mean nas-ty!) to clean, but I suffered through it. It spins like a top! Yep, those be turkey decoys. Bunch of them running around the property. Last year was my first turkey hunting adventure, looking forward to fall season. Some come on over girl, we'll cook us a mean meal! Ok, here's a few other shots of our small slice of heaven... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/PIC-1566.jpg Roofing was not a pleasure... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/PIC-1559.jpg Loft above the kitchen/bath half.... air mattress... LOL http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_000021.jpg Stripped a log, cut a quarter of it out and mounted. Will eventually have hand rail added... once I strip and make them. Oh, those beams are over 100 year old cedar, an old friend had them in his barn for, he said, at least 50 years. Gave them to us. Power washed and they are beautiful. (and free!) http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_000920.jpg Hubby dozing out front, and I was stripping the log in the foreground. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_000916.jpg And my treestand out in the woods... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001208.jpg |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/17/11 at 11:05:04 Thanks alot JOG. The dozer belongs to us. Belonged to my husband's dad. His mom came close to selling it when Dad died. I thought hubby was gonna have a coronary. But we finally got it. Whew. He just texted me and he's up there dozing as I type this. He loves that thing. I re-vinyled the seat, backrest and arm rests and he built the ROPS from steel that I got from where I work. We're poor but got good fringes. LOL The lift belongs to the company he works for, along with a generator we use alot, trailers, a John Deere Gator, and many, many perks like that. But they don't mind, and he takes good care of stuff, so its very nice. Oh, another "re-purposing" project was the tree-stand. Built from wood pallets that we would have burned at work, so we took them and tore them apart. I think they made great siding. ;) |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/17/11 at 11:14:14 Bustin pallets is earnin the wood.. They are Hrd to get apart & not wreck the wood,, A recip saw helps,, |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by Boule’tard on 08/17/11 at 19:55:15 Great photos. You have Setups like yours get me to thinking about a camp/retreat sort of place, which when reduced to the here-and-now usually leads to me working on some dippy thing around the house, which I like to think will afford us more time and money for the ultimate getaway, some day. Those books by David and Jeanie Stiles, about cabins/retreats/huts/treehouses/forts are also good dream material, I love them. Your setup has much of the same “snuggly” factor but adds elements (I guess the dozer and bedded loft) that kind of uh, speak to me as a man :D Yep, basically green with envy here. |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/18/11 at 05:34:11 Boule', you're sweet and I appreciate it. Inspiration is always nice. I'll look up the books you mentioned. I keep seeing log furniture and think "I can make that", so I have more projects than I can handle. Our yard at home has suffered a bit because we have been spending so much time away. Not to even mention riding time! At least I can ride to and from work, so that has saved alot of my sanity! And sharing this here has helped me too. Latest news... meeting with the electric company again today. Last October when we first met with them, they basically denied us service (without us paying a fortune up front) because this place is a few hunderd feet downhill away from the main power line run and they will have to set new poles and a new transformer. For a "non-permanent" residence (monthly bill will be minimal) they say its not worth it. But we cut a new driveway through some trees and should be a more straight shot back to the last transformer, so fingers are crossed that they will be more lenient. I'm hoping the engineer sees the progress we've made and feels sorry for us. Plus, where I work, we do a ton of work for the power company and I know they had spending freezes in place last year that have been lifted and they are spending like crazy, so I'm hoping it transfers over to new service for us! All prayers are welcome... |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by bill67 on 08/18/11 at 08:38:23 Babyhog what if you guys run and underground line up to the transformer,Would they hook it up. |

Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/18/11 at 11:04:08 How far is it to that transformer? |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/18/11 at 11:19:42 Just got a text from hubby, he is meeting with the engineer right now and it looks like that's the way we're going - underground. I hadn't brought it up to him yet, but that's what he is saying now. Good call Bill!! OMG I hope I'm not blinding everyone with the smile on my face!!! :) :) :) Now how fast can they get it done? :-? |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/18/11 at 11:33:36 You guys can cut a ditch with that dozer, Direct Bury wire is out there, Put up a Meter pole or mount it to the house? |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by kimchris1 on 08/18/11 at 12:38:33 Piglet, it shouldn't take long, once the prep work is finished.. Good luck and I have my sun glasses on. 8-) . Yes your smile is blinding but I don't blame you for being over joyed.. Best of luck.. Hugs.. :) kim |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/18/11 at 13:03:18 Their policy - gotta dig a 3-foot deep trench, lay conduit, then they come and inspect.. pay them $419, then they provide the wire from the pole to the house and pull it through the conduit. They also have to replace one pole higher up the hill because it isn't tall enough (gotta get the proper angle, I suppose), and set one new pole with the transformer where we will tap in (I think that's right). Looks like we'll be doing some digging this weekend... if he can find something to use. He does great with the dozer but it won't dig a 3 foot deep trench, I don't think. Oh, its about 120 yards to where they will set the transformer. Lovely! Would be lovely to have power by hunting season... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by verslagen1 on 08/18/11 at 13:43:50 Once had to dig a trench but it was only 1 or 2 foot deep for about that long. But I was a youngster then. About halfway thru you begin to think of other ways of getting the job done. Take an I-beam, mount it to the shovel and push it thru the dirt. mount it so it slopes up like a plow. also mount it off center so if you hit a rock hubby doesn't eat an I beam. |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/18/11 at 14:02:58 3 feet DEEP?? How cold does it get up there? Owell,, if its 3 feet, its 3 feet,, better add up the cost of the project with the trench & w/o it,, The difference in $$$ may be easier to absorb than the pain of such a trench, 360 feet of 4 inch wide trench 3 feet deep,, 1 foot is a cubic foot, 27 feet is a yard, Gonna excavate over 13 yards of dirt, making that 3 foot deep cut. Thats more than a dumptruck load.. I wouldnt do it w/o some equipment,, & equipment costs,, A couple of poles & youre in business,, Maybe thats why we see so many poles? |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by bill67 on 08/18/11 at 17:51:42 In Illinois and Wisconsin you wouldn't use conduit just and underground wire.And they would use a chain drencher and maybe it would be a 6 inch trench. |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/19/11 at 06:36:25 We do occasionally get sub-zero temps, normal winter lows I'd guess average mid-teens to 20's. We've always used 30-36" as frost level, for water lines and such. Oh, I was wrong about the distance too. Its only about 175 feet, so that's a little better. Working on some equipment to borrow or rent. Dollar signs are making me nauseous... |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/19/11 at 09:44:18 Yea,, Ive had to have a few Tums around here several times.. $$$$ signs start spinning around & I tart feelin sick,, |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by kimchris1 on 08/19/11 at 11:50:10 Piglet, take it from someone that has been there and done that. Or at least gave it a good shot.. Rent some equipment. It shouldn't take long to dig the trench and you and hubby's backs will thank you for that. Good luck and keep us posted.. O btw, I love your lil tree house..:) kim |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by justin_o_guy2 on 08/19/11 at 14:34:33 Just make sure the cost of the rentals & the conduit& th pain of filling the trench back in isnt more than the cost of poles to the house,, |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by Boule’tard on 08/19/11 at 15:23:02 I rented a DitchWitch one time that was capable of cutting a 3ft trench and seemed very cheap at $150 for a half-day, at least compared to all that digging. I got into some rocks that pretty much beat the hell out of the machine, I would have died if I had to chip them all out with a pickaxe. Refilling the trench should be a cinch with the family tractor ;) |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by scroop on 08/19/11 at 19:55:45 You guys are living the dream, Piglet. I love the simplicity and peacefulness of it all. The fact that you and your husband (and some good friends) put it together with a little time and muscle gives it great value. God bless you, sis. ;) |
|
Title: Re: Different kind of project - Wood, not MC relat Post by babyhog on 08/22/11 at 08:24:35 Well, we lucked out in a major way this weekend. Hubby has a friend who works for a drilling company (he used to work for hubby, we actually got him the job with the drilling company, better money lol) and they were using an excavator on a job only about 30 miles from our camp. They didn't finish Friday, which meant they had to keep it over the weekend. He asked his boss if he could borrow it for the weekend and the boss said sure! So we got the trench dug in just a few short hours! Did a few more odds and ends with it, I even got to play on it a little. Worked our butts off all weekend, sweated like pigs, my whole body hurts! But we got the conduit set and almost ready for inspection. Until hubby knocked the meter base cover onto his face and cut a big gash right under his eye! But he's ok. Gotta tell you this... This must have been farmland back in the day, because down deep, the dirt smelled like manure! We stunk so bad on the way home, the drive-thru gal in Wendy's closed the window after taking our money. When she opened it back up, I said "I'm sorry we stink, we been workin'!" She laughed and said that's ok. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001538.jpg |

Hunting (deer archery) season started last weekend. Power company was out last Thursday, set the new pole at the top, but didn't come back after lunch and didn't come back on Friday. Strange. But they came back today. Hubby got there and got to talk to them. They had to leave last week because they had a pole fall somewhere nearby, didn't hit the ground, but was hanging really low. Electrocuted 3 deer. Guess they got too close to it. Anyway, they had to leave our place to replace that pole. So we didn't have power over the weekend but its on now!! http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/V__D9E0.jpg Hubby got to do a little more dozing for the pond. Yes, the tree in the center will have to go. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001921.jpg Oh, look how pretty the trees look from my loft bedroom, up the driveway. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Cabin/WP_001916.jpg |

Don't you like Bud Light? I prefer Mich Ultra myself, but hubby likes his BL. Speaking of there, I was speaking with my Mom last night. She moved to Phoenix last month. She was talking about all the cactus everywhere, no trees like we have here, not much grass either. Seems so strange to me. Guess its what we get used to though, huh. But it is beautiful around here this time of year. |
