Lofty Ideas, Part II

I went back to CF last week for a little one on one with the cabin.  We had finished putting in the floor of the loft the week before, and on this trip I put up a little half wall across to the front to keep people from running off the edge.  Let me know what you think.

The ladder is temporary

The view from the top, before I added the last little wall section in front of the hole.

This little thing is to ensure no accidental descents.

Look Dad! There's a light switch right on the wall!

It switches the outlet to the left, on a 3-pole switch to the hallway below.

I took some pictures to try to show the size of the loft space, but I can't arrange them on the screen the way I wanted to...  So, yeah.  It's... spacey.

   

 

Let There Be Loft!

About 2 weeks ago we went out to Camp Freedom and put up the floor joists for the loft.  We got a couple of sheets of the flooring plywood hoisted up and nailed down before we ran out of time.  We came back this weekend and finished the job.

Guthrie tries it out

Turns out it's really far from the ground.  We're working on the stairs/ladder, and will be putting in a solid half wall (around 4' high) all across the front.  That should make it feel a lot safer than it did yesterday.

Oh yeah, and we installed some steps for the front door.  So far all of you who thought someone was going to break an ankle on the ramp coming out the front door...  I'm planning to move the ramp to the porch side of the building.  It's a good ramp, would be a shame to waste it.
