It's finally here! (Less the stain) but it's here! The homestead outhouse has been completed and is ready for our move. Which may be coming sooner than we planned based on the weather forecast. Until we get an unexpected snowstorm.
We started this outhouse way back in October when we dug the hole before the ground froze. Then we got the cribbing box into the ground while we had the time before snow fell. Now we took winter by the reins and completed the building itself!
We have to wait until our nighttime temperatures go up to get the stain on the outside and paint on the inside. We will also be matching the outside stain to our log cabin stain so that may wait even through the summer for now.
Overall, this build took about 4 less-than-full days! With the snowmachine commute from the cabins to the homestead property, Becca tending to Henry, and Levi learning as he went, we definitely didn't get in full days of work. But we got it done!
We also had a fun long weekend mixed in where we went North to fly with a friend to see his remote cabin. (Henry and Becca stayed behind for the flight.) Then we came back home to find a burl tree for our cabin post! (Full video on that day coming soon.)
On our way back to the property one of the work days we came across an aggressive cow moose! She was the first moose we've seen show aggression and it got a little hairy on whether or not she was going to charge. Luckily she stopped about 40 yards from us and turned off the road and nothing came of it. We tried to turn around on the snowmachine when she moved in our direction but the sled was too heavy with the burl post in tow. We're very glad she left!
All in all, we are so glad to have this project done before the cabin package arrives and before Spring truly buds. Levi is working hard on clearing trees at the property while we watch the snowmelt and we are biding our time until logs arrive. We may even get to moving snow out of the cabin footprint so that we can begin on the foundation posts! Stay tuned!!
