The "Bear Den" is now on shore power, the trusty ole generator is sitting idle, once again the HITW is a peaceful quiet working environment. A good day today, while the Bear was running electrical wire through the the walls and eventually connecting us to shore power the rest of the crew worked on individual projects. I completed the siding project at the peak of the cabin with the Bull Moose commencing preparing the rear wall for the exterior paneling. We borrowed our soldier from the Army for a few days and assigned him to the roofing project. To assist him, we were able to rent a nail gun from the local rental center. With everyone assigned to pounding or screwing, I turned my attention to the installation of the doors and windows. This task will be completed tomorrow, just as soon as I get Papa Bear to disconnect his power source to the breaker and remove the transmission line which is currently running through the side door opening. By this time tomorrow, the roof should be completed and the cabin dried in. A quick trip to the lumber yard will be in order to get some trim wood for the windows and corners but in all, it is coming along very nicely. Thanks again to our "Pope" and Tara, they left us in good shape and it has been relatively easy on us to fill in the blanks. The roofing shingles look real good and will blend in well with our "green environment". By the time the "Wolf Pack" returns, we will be ready to raise the walls and repeat the process one more time. 2008-07-31
Power Is On

Looks good with winders 'n doors! You guys are on a roll. It will be Sat. nite (late) before I can get down there, but if you are feeling froggy - jump to the walls next door. I figure that a full day could provide enough progress for trekking from Seward. The only thing is - I might show up with some salmon and halibut. Heath could have some 'but to cut down on our trip back to LA, but I am hoping the smokehouse would accept some fresh silvers - even if they are "Resurrection" fishes.
Thanks for the good time and conversation this weekend! (and the building project, too (of course))
The drive back was an endless conversation/music fest. Rest Heidi's mind I did not "look" for jumpers, in lakes beside the highway, to stop and "stretch" along the way. ONE saw me...but, the satisfaction of coho from Anchor River this morning was enough to keep my mind focused on home.......oh, crap. the fillets. gotta go.
Been awhile, transits, big rig deliveries and replacement of all the trailers with cabins-you all have been busy, I guess slapping nineties are a thing of the past.
Any old campers for sale up there?
