Big Work and Small Game

This past weekend had a little bit of everything: finishing work on the container cabin, starting work on the bathroom addition, brush clearing, and even some actual shooting.

The weather was great, with temperatures in the low 90s and a cooling breeze. Friday was spent installing trim around the ceiling and floor, hanging window treatments, fixing a few electrical glitches, and bringing in some furniture. The results are starting to come together.




The addition of a few appliances and hooking up the water will just about make the interior complete. And in order to hook up the water...we have to build the bathroom addition that will house the sink, toilet, shower, and hot water heater. This will be an 8' x 10' addition on the east end of the container.

Our buddy Alex was up on Saturday to help lay out the foundation and start the decking.


We got the drain plumbing in place that runs underneath, allowing us to complete the decking and be set up for framing.


A ton of work was done and a lot of progress was made on our way to a functioning throne room. But it wasn't all work. We had time for some clay shooting off the truck powered trap machine...


...and brother Scott even bagged his first kill on the ranch, of which he was quite proud.


All in all, a satisfying trip. Until next time.
