I want these cabinets to look old, but with a twist. I finished applying bead molding in all the opening. These pics are of the sink base. I'm doing all the frames out of pine, and the bead molding is white birch I cut the same time I sawed all that pine. Everything dried out nicely down to 8% Check out the spring load twist knob as the hardware we are going to use.

I took advantage of the soft rain soaked gravel, and pushed up hill and graded. The back I cut into with my snow plow and ATV was 2 foot high. Man I love this machine!!!

This next pic is of a section we own. Look between the two pines and see the pools of water due to all this rain. It looks just like the spring run off, and melt. Pools of standing water everywhere.

The sink base is complete, tomorrow I'll do a small cabinet between to stove and refrigerator, then the 8' peninsula

My God, I think I died and went to heaven with my new Tenon jig. For 30+ years I've always made my own that worked pretty decent, but this? ohhhhhhhhhh so sweet!

Brought home this beauty yesterday and called a logger buddy of mine to give a hand. So he comes on over, figuring this is gona be a piece of cake, so we take off the truck and can see the look of "Holy sh*t", smirk on his face. Now we'll just dolly it up the stairs no big deal, ha ha ha...... Man that monster was killing both of us. Lot's of grunting, and sounds of "when is that last step ever going to get there ;-)

700 lbs thankyou, I thought my dolly was sure to give out, but we made it. This will surely heat the place right with no problems. The stove is a Hearth Stone/ Shelburne stove. It has a UL listing of 8 hr burn time, but all that REALLY means is 5-6 hr.

I have to rig up something to satisfy code, being that the ceiling above the the pipe going into the chimney needs to be 20" and I have only 12"...............hmmmmmm

Well, here's the seasons first snow falling. Shouldn't be a whole lot, and in my guess according to the weather man, this should be melted off when the sun pokes its head out later this afternoon.

This clearing is so pretty in real time. Can't wait to see the deer come through later in the season. ought to have a perfect view from the upstairs den window. I want to bring in some top soil in early summer, grade, and plant some Timothy and clover. The price one pays for trying to do something on ledge.

This is a deer's view from the clearing

The thing about living up here is that you never know what you'll be doing next because of the weather. Yesterday was kinda cold, so I thought I'd get started on our bedroom closet system. The closet is large enough that I can put a stack of drawers in the middle, then double closet rods on each side with the top shelf somewhere around 80". The stack of drawers will be enough to hold my things, and eliminating my bureau, giving us more room in the bedroom. The drawers will be 16" deep and 12" wide and dovetailed, using some of that pine I sawed up earlier. I think there is a total of 7 drawers, 2 of which are only 4" tall, with the others ranging from 9" to 7".
