First year of cabin building completed

The Dockhouse

We have been out of Internet range most of the summer as we worked on our cabin project at Red Lake, thus the lack of postings.
Stage One is mostly completed now. We have a building we call the Dockhouse to live in while we build the main cabin next summer. Until now we were staying in a tent.
The Dockhouse is a 12x24 building erected right next to our new dock. 
The dock and its landing are important parts of the infrastructure needed for the bigger cabin construction.
The dock, Dockhouse and septic system installed in May are our accomplishments for 2019.
